In contrast, Brazilian exports have seen a significant decrease, falling from 144,538 tons to 71,114 tons in the same year.

Additionally, the article highlights the impact of tariffs and logistical costs on the value of Brazilian orange juice exports and the efforts to improve the global competitiveness of Brazilian orange juice through international agreements.
