The Brazilian agricultural sector has surpassed the US $ 100 billion mark in exports this year, the Agriculture Ministry said on Monday. Between December 2017 and November 2018, the total of US $ 100.10 billion was invoiced with external shipments of the sector, up 5.2% over the same period of 2016/2017. “The growth was due to the increase in the amount exported, or 5.3% more,” the note said. It is not, however, a record for the period, which was reached between December 2012 and November 2013, when Brazil exported US $ 100.7 billion in agribusiness products, according to data from Agribusiness Trade Balance. The share of the sector in total Brazilian exports was 42.1% (-1.9 % compared to the previous period, which was 44%). Source: Canal Rural
