In the first ten months of 2024, Brazil's beef exports reached 2.29 million tons, nearly matching the total exports of 2023, and generated US$ 10.5 billion. The Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec) expects to maintain these record levels through December. China remains the largest market, importing 159,595 tons in October, which is 54.4% of Brazil's beef exports. The United States and the Philippines follow as the second and third largest buyers. Fresh meat dominates the exports, with notable increases to the United States, United Arab Emirates, Hong Kong, and Chile. The outlook for the rest of 2024 hinges on balancing domestic demand and foreign negotiations, with expectations of record-breaking export volumes and revenue.
