Brazil Projects 62 Billion Eggs, 15.4 Million Tons of Chicken Meat, and 5.42 Million Tons of Pork by 2025, Strengthening Global Leadership in the Protein Sector.
Many eggs, poultry, and pigs. In 2025, Brazilian poultry and pig farming is expected to see advances in exports and strengthen the country’s position as a global protein supplier.
The projection was presented by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) in a press conference held in São Paulo on August 20.
“We have positive expectations for the close of this year, even amid the great challenges faced by the poultry production sector. The global market continues to have a high demand for proteins,” said ABPA president Ricardo Santin.

The water that almost everyone throws away after cooking potatoes carries nutrients released during the preparation and can be reused to help in the development of plants when used correctly at the base of gardens and pots, at no additional cost and without changing the routine.

The sea water temperature rose from 28 to 34 degrees in Santa Catarina and killed up to 90% of the oysters: producers who planted over 1 million seeds lost practically everything and say that if it happens again, production is doomed to end.

An Indian tree that grows in the Brazilian Northeast produces an oil capable of acting against more than 200 species of pests and interrupting the insect cycle, gaining ground as a natural alternative in soybean, cotton, and vegetable crops.

The rise in oil prices in the Middle East is already affecting Brazilian sugar: mills in the Central-South are seeing their margins shrink just as ethanol gains strength.
The projections indicate that Brazil will continue to grow both in production and in domestic consumption, but the focus of expansion is on international trade.
Brazilian Eggs Gain Space in the International Market
One of the highlights of the press conference was the projections for the egg sector. Production is expected to reach up to 62 billion units in 2025, a figure 7.5% higher than in 2024.
The goal for the following year is up to 65 billion. Domestic consumption is important, but exports have gained centrality in the entity’s discourse.
The expectation is that shipments will double compared to the previous year.
Brazil can export up to 40,000 tons in 2025, a result that would represent a 116.6% increase over the 18,400 tons shipped in 2024. For 2026, the goal is to reach 45,000 tons.
This advance depends on external factors, such as the impact of the high tariffs imposed by the United States on some Brazilian products.
Even so, ABPA projects the reopening of strategic markets, particularly Chile, which has a high demand for protein.
Santin emphasized that this movement could lead the country to achieve historic export records.
In terms of domestic consumption, the strength is also visible. The projection is that Brazilians will eat 288 eggs per year in 2025, entering for the first time into the ranking of the ten largest per capita consumers in the world.
Chicken Meat Maintains Position in Exports
Chicken meat, Brazil’s main protein in the international scenario, was also discussed.
Production is expected to reach 15.4 million tons in 2025, surpassing the 2024 figure by up to 30%. A further increase is anticipated for 2026, reaching 15.7 million.
In exports, a slight retraction is forecasted for 2025. Shipments are expected to total 5.2 million tons, compared to 5.29 million last year.
This drop of up to 2% reflects the temporary impact of Avian Influenza and restrictions imposed by some markets.
However, the sector is already negotiating the reopening of these destinations and expects to achieve 5.5 million tons exported in 2026, an increase of 5.8%.
In the domestic market, availability is also increasing. In 2025, consumption is expected to reach 47.8 kilograms per capita, a jump from 45.5 kilograms in 2024.
For ABPA, this ensures production stability and reinforces the confidence of exporters, who maintain Brazil at the top of the list of global suppliers.
Pig Farming Expands Markets and Diversifies Destinations
In the pork sector, optimism is evident.
Production is expected to total 5.42 million tons in 2025, a 2.2% increase over the previous year.
For 2026, the forecast is for 5.55 million, a growth of 2.4%.
Exports are expected to be the engine of growth.
Brazil is expected to ship 1.45 million tons in 2025, a 7.2% increase compared to 2024. In 2026, the goal is 1.55 million tons, an additional 7% increase.
ABPA highlighted the shift in the external sales map.
The Philippines has taken the lead among importers of Brazilian pork, while Mexico, Singapore, and countries in South America have increased their participation.
This diversification ensures greater resilience in the sector, reducing dependence on specific markets and strengthening the country’s global position.
In terms of domestic consumption, stability prevails.
Brazilian consumption is expected to remain around 18.8 kilograms per capita until 2026, consolidating pork as a regular alternative, but without significant advances.
Brazil Reinforces Role as Export Power
The projections presented by ABPA confirm that, despite the difficulties faced in 2024, poultry and pig farming are resuming a pace of growth.
The international scenario is a major highlight, with expectations for records in egg production and significant advances in pork exports.
The specific case of Avian Influenza did not alter the confidence of importing markets.
Many destinations have already reopened their doors to Brazilian products, while negotiations continue to ensure the return of other partners.
The expected result is a more consolidated Brazil as a global reference in proteins.
