Brazilian Agribusiness Exports Reach US$ 14.95 Billion in September, Highlighting Beef and Soybean.
Brazilian Agribusiness Hits Historical Record in September
Brazilian agribusiness recorded the highest export value for a month of September since the beginning of the historical series. In total, there were US$ 14.95 billion (R$ 80.73 billion) in external sales, representing a 6.1% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
The sector accounted for 49% of all exports from Brazil, driven mainly by beef and soybeans.
According to the Ministry of Agriculture, the increase was sustained by a 7.4% growth in shipped volumes, which compensated for the slight decline of 1.1% in international prices.

Beef and Soybean Drive Exports
Raw beef led the month’s performance, with US$ 1.77 billion in exports, recording an impressive increase of 55.6%. Meanwhile, raw pork reached US$ 346.1 million, growing 28.6% and almost doubling the exported volume (+78.2%).
Additionally, corn also stood out, with US$ 1.52 billion (increase of 23.5%), followed by soybean and its derivatives, which maintained a strong presence in Brazil’s shipments.
Even with uncertainties in the international market and the potential impacts of the Trump Tariff, products like coffee (+9.3%) and seafood (+6.1%) continued to rise, reinforcing the resilience of the Brazilian agribusiness.
Diversification and High-Value Niches
The government reinforced its market diversification strategy, targeting Asia, Europe, and North America. The goal is to expand access to high-value niches and strengthen domestic production chains at the same time.
The results are already starting to show. Less traditional products recorded significant performance, with highlights including:
- Oilseed Seeds (except soybean): +92.3%
- Fresh Watermelons: +65%
- Beans: +50.8%
- Dairy: +13.7%
In total, these products grew 9.2% in September and 19.1% year-to-date, demonstrating the expansion of Brazil’s export range.
Sector Confirms Resilience and Global Leadership
From January to September, the Brazilian agribusiness exported US$ 126.6 billion, recording, therefore, a 0.7% increase compared to the same period last year.
For the Minister of Agriculture and Livestock, Carlos Fávaro, this result clearly reinforces the strength of the sector:
“Even in the face of a challenging external scenario, the results of September confirm once again the competitiveness of Brazilian agribusiness and demonstrate the success of the strategy for opening and diversifying markets.”
Furthermore, with over US$ 111 billion in trade surplus, agribusiness continues to be one of the main pillars of Brazil’s economy, ensuring balance in external accounts and consolidating global leadership in food exports.
