Japan asked and Cerrado Mineiro delivered: 8.4 tons of special decaffeinated coffee with a score of 84 depart from Santos heading to Tokyo, a volume that exceeds by more than 900% everything Brazil exported of this product in all of 2025.

Additionally, products such as apple juice (+623%), tobacco (+91.5%), bananas (+79%), eggs and yolks (+62%), hides and skins (+57%), fruits (+37.3%), and meats (+16.7%), especially beef, recorded significant increases.
Advancement of Less Traditional Products
Items with historically lower participation in agro exports also gained ground.
Corvina rose 161% in export value, while fresh grapes advanced 89.4%. Cashew nuts (+88%), vegetable oils (+87%), and honey and derivatives (+37%) also grew.
These results show opportunities identified by agricultural attachés abroad. Tools like AgroInsight help broaden reach and diversify the export agenda.

Next is the European Union, with US$ 2.36 billion, up 16.4%.
Among the markets that grew the most are Mexico (+23%), Saudi Arabia (+28.8%), and Thailand (+18%). Morocco, Bangladesh, and Taiwan also made significant advances in purchases.
Balance from January to July
In the first seven months of the year, external sales totaled US$ 97.5 billion, maintaining the 2024 level. Products outside the traditional core grew 21% in value.
Since the beginning of the current administration, 399 new markets for agricultural products have been opened. More than 200 access expansions have been carried out, 13 of them just in July.
Strength and Stability of Brazilian Agriculture
Even with drops in prices for soybeans, sugar, cellulose, and cotton, the sector maintained exchange revenues. This is due to the strategy of opening and diversifying markets, in addition to constant dialogue with trade partners.
Brazil continues to be a reliable and safe supplier, with regular supply, recognized sanitary conditions, quality, and commitment to sustainability, reinforcing its role in global food security.
