RECORD AGRIBUSINESS EXPORTS DRIVEN BY SUGAR-ALCOHOL COMPLEX IN 2025

Brazilian agribusiness exported USD 169.2 billion in 2025, a 3% increase from the previous year. This accounted for 48.5% of the country’s total exports. With imports of USD 20.2 billion, the sector’s trade flow reached USD 189.4 billion, resulting in a surplus of USD 149.07 billion. The sugar-alcohol complex was a key driver of this performance, integrating sugar, ethanol, and energy co‑products. Competitive supply, industrial efficiency, and global demand for food and renewable energy supported the sector, alongside the soybean complex, animal proteins, and coffee.
