The Mexican market has been opened for Brazilian pork, which could help reduce the supply and increase prices in Brazil. The move could be beneficial for pig farmers in Minas Gerais who have been facing high costs and unprofitable prices. The opening of new markets, such as Mexico, can help control the supply and remunerate production costs. Domestic consumption of pork in Brazil has increased, and it is expected to rise further due to the holiday season. However, the cost of pig farming is discouraging new investments, leading to a narrow margin and a loss for the industry from January to November 2022.
