According to recent forecasts released by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), Brazil's total pork exports are projected to reach 1.49 million tons in 2025, a 10% increase compared to the same period last year, surpassing Canada (whose expected exports are between 1.3 million and 1.35 million tons) to become the world's third-largest pork exporter.
The Brazilian website "agrimidia" reported on December 18 that ABPA President Ricardo Santin stated that although Brazil's pork exports to China decreased by 30% this year, its market diversification strategy has shown positive effects. In 2025, the Philippines will become Brazil's main pork export destination, with exports to Japan, Vietnam, and Mexico also increasing.
This year's international situation has also been favorable for Brazil. The United States reduced pork exports to meet domestic market demand; Europe, however, has been impacted by the African swine fever epidemic, affecting pork production in countries such as Spain.
Domestically, a bumper harvest and stable production costs have ensured the industry's competitiveness, providing producers with more substantial profit margins. ABPA projects that Brazil's domestic pork supply will reach 4.06 million tons by 2025, with per capita annual consumption increasing to 19 kg. A favorable currency exchange rate and efficient farm operations provide strong support for balancing robust exports and ample domestic supply.
Looking ahead, ABPA remains optimistic, projecting national pork production to increase from 5.55 million tons this year to 5.7 million tons in 2026, a 2.7% increase.
Furthermore, Brazil may obtain new health permits from China next year, particularly for pork by-products (blood, skin, offal, etc.), potentially creating new export opportunities. The expansion of this market segment in Brazil-China trade, coupled with the predictability of corn and soybean prices (meaning predictable pig farming costs), provides necessary support for continued investment and capacity expansion in the Brazilian sector in the coming years.
