Soybeans: The Queen of Brazilian Exports

Soybeans remain the main export product of Brazil, accounting for over 12% of the total export value in 2024. The grain dominates shipments in 12 states, including:

Maranhão
Piauí
Bahia
Tocantins
Goiás
Federal District
Mato Grosso
Mato Grosso do Sul
Acre
Rondônia
Paraná
Rio Grande do Sul

The China, a Major Buyer, keeps demand high, driving prices and supporting the positive trade balance of these states.

Iron Ore: Wealth of Brazil’s Subsoil

In the states of Minas Gerais, Espírito Santo, and Pará, the flagship product is iron ore, which accounted for about 9% of national exports in 2024. Besides supplying the global industry, especially the Chinese one, this product sustains jobs and investments in infrastructure.

Crude Oil: Billions in Revenue in the Southeast and Northeast

Crude Oil continues to be one of the largest Revenue Generators for Brazil. In 2024, Rio de Janeiro, Sergipe, and Rio Grande do Norte led with billion-dollar crude oil exports, representing about 13% of the national total.

Meat, Sugar, and Wood: Regional Highlights

Santa Catarina: largest exporter of poultry meat, serving demanding markets such as Europe and Japan.
Roraima: interestingly, the state exports meat by-products, tapping into market niches.
Paraíba, Pernambuco, Alagoas, and São Paulo: together, they have sugar as their main export item, generating millions.
Amapá: the star is logs, aimed at cellulose production.
Ceará: highlights include iron and steel ingots, industrial items with high added value.
Amazonas: remains strong with chemical pulp preparation, a direct result of the industry in the Manaus Industrial Hub.

China Leads, USA in Second

The largest destination for Brazilian exports in 2024 was once again China, with 31% share, driving demand for commodities such as soybeans, iron ore, and oil.

In second place, the United States, with 12%, continues to buy mainly oil, meats, and machinery.

Exporting is Growing: The Economic Impact for Brazil

Foreign trade continues to be one of the pillars of the Brazilian economy. In 2024, exports helped maintain the trade surplus and boosted strategic sectors, from agribusiness to heavy industry.

In addition to gains in dollars, exporting states also attract investments, create jobs, and strengthen their production chains.
