Brazil Expands Beef Exports in Southeast Asia in 2025 With Strategic Entry Into Indonesia, Strengthening Position in Competitive Global Market
Throughout 2025, Brazil made significant advances in Southeast Asia. After opening markets for Vietnam and the Philippines, the country also gained access to Indonesia, according to a report from Agrifatto sent to its subscribers.
“With the opening of the Indonesian market for beef exports, Brazil strengthens its presence in one of the most dynamic regions in the world in terms of economic growth and demand for animal proteins,” the consultancy emphasized.
Strategic Growing Market
Indonesia appears as a central piece of this strategy. The country is the fourth most populous country in the world, with around 285 million inhabitants in 2024, and offers great consumption potential.

“The consumption of beef in the country has been growing in recent years, driven by rising incomes and the expansion of the urban middle class,” Agrifatto noted.
Together, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Indonesia have over 500 million people, further expanding opportunities for Brazilian beef.
Projections for the Next Decade
The consultancy projects that by 2035, Brazilian beef exports to the three markets could reach 800 thousand tons. This would represent a significant advance compared to current shipments.
In addition, Agrifatto expects that, for Indonesia alone, Brazil could export 114 thousand tons by 2035. This figure illustrates why the region is considered one of the most promising for the expansion of national livestock.
By 2025, the expectation is for immediate increases in export volumes, consolidating the entry into Indonesia as a fundamental step.
Competition and Brazil’s Position
The most important aspect is to understand the competitive landscape. Currently, India leads in supplying animal proteins to Indonesia, with a 48% share over the past five years.
Next is Australia, with 36%. Brazil ranks third, with a 5% share.
Therefore, increasing access opens the way to change this picture and strengthen Brazil’s role as a major global supplier.
