Brazilian agriculture exports rose 1.5% to USD 14.29 billion in August 2025, driven by a 5.1% increase in shipping volume despite Donald Trump’s 50% tax. Soybeans led with 9.3 million tons (+16.2%) and USD 3.88 billion (+11%). Next came beef (268 thousand tons (+23.5%) for USD 1.5 billion (+56%) and grain (6.8 million tons (+12.9%) for USD 1.36 billion (++17%). Other items like beef tallow, oilseeds, beans, animal feed, and peanut oil reached record highs. China kept the top spot, buying USD 5.12 billion (+32.9%) in products, followed by the EU. Mexico (+91.9%), Egypt (+14%), India (+37.3%), and Thailand (+9.5%) also grew. The 2025 launch of 22 new markets contributed to these results, according to MAPA.
