Tridge summary
Brazilian fish farming is experiencing a moment of consolidation and growth. In 2024, the national production of tilapia jumped 14.36% compared to the previous year, reaching the historic mark of 662,230 tons. The data, released in the Anuário Peixe BR 2025, proves the prominence of tilapia in Brazilian fish farming. The species already represents 68.36% of what is cultivated in the country. This growth is a reflection of a cycle that began in 2023, when producers, facing a favorable scenario, invested in the market. "On the positive side, the numbers were excellent, proving that tilapia has become a protein appreciated by the Brazilian consumer. On the negative side, producer prices fluctuated for much of the year. It is necessary for all links to act together to provide a positive economic result for everyone, from genetic suppliers to the industry," highlights Francisco Medeiros, president of the Associação Brasileira da Piscicultura (Peixe BR).
