Brazil's pork exports in 2022 fell by 1.4% to 1.12 million tonnes, generating revenue of $2.572 billion, a decrease of 2.6%, due to a decline in shipments to China in the first half of the year. However, there was a notable increase in December, with pork sales rising by 14.6% to 102.8 thousand tons, driven by a 79.6% surge in imports by China. Despite the overall decline, the quarterly average of exports in volume in the latter half of 2022 hit a record high, supporting a performance similar to 2021, a record year for the sector. The exports helped alleviate the pressure of high production costs.
