Brazilian Imports Grow In Volume And Variety

Brazil recorded a trade surplus of an impressive US$ 19.08 billion in the first quarter of 2024, marking a 22.2% increase compared to the same period last year. These numbers are a clear indication that the Brazilian economy continues to expand its presence on the global stage.

Helmuth Hofstatter, CEO and founder of Logcomex, highlights that there was a modest increase of 6.5% in the quantity of products imported by Brazil. He also reported that the total weight of imported products reached over 40 billion kilograms. However, the average price of these products saw a reduction of 4%, with the FOB value for the quarter reaching US$ 59.2 billion, which also reflects a slight decrease of 2% compared to 2023.

Details Of Imported Products

Among the most imported items are gas oil (diesel), notably with its NCM code 27101921, followed by crude petroleum oils and other potassium chlorides. Chemicals, naphthas for petrochemicals, and bituminous coal were also significant in imports, showcasing the diversity of the country’s industrial needs.

According to Hofstatter, it is important to note that there was a 16% decline in the FOB value of imported chemicals. On the other hand, the electronics segment saw a growth of 1.2%, while machinery and equipment had an impressive increase of 9%. This data indicates significant changes in import trends and the economic sectors that are expanding most rapidly.
