Brazil’s agribusiness exports in March were not affected by the consequences of the new coronavirus, according to the Ministry of Agriculture. Evidence of this was the US$ 9.29 billion collected from external sales, a 13.3% increase compared to March 2019 (US$ 8.20 billion).

The reason for the significant number was the increase in the quantity exported (18.8%). However, the price index of exported products fell by 4.7% according to the Agribusiness Trade Balance prepared by the SCRI (Secretariat of Commerce and International Relations).
