Beef exports surpass 200,000 tonnes in October and revenue rises nearly 50%, says Secex

Brazilian beef exports — including fresh, chilled, and frozen products — surpassed 201.3 thousand tonnes by the third week of October 2025, according to data released this Monday (20) by the Foreign Trade Secretariat (Secex).

The result indicates a strong pace of shipments, although the total volume remains below the 270.2 thousand tonnes exported throughout October last year.

Daily average exports up more than 26% year over year
The daily average of beef exports reached 15.4 thousand tonnes during the first three weeks of the month, an increase of 26.1% compared to the same period in 2024, when the daily average stood at 12.2 thousand tonnes.

This growth highlights sustained international demand for Brazilian beef, particularly from key markets such as China, the United Arab Emirates, and the United States.

Export revenue surpasses US$1.1 billion
Cumulative revenue from beef exports reached US$1.108 billion by the third week of October. This amount already represents more than half of the total recorded in October 2024, when Brazil earned US$1.259 billion.

On a daily average basis, revenue reached US$85.28 million, a significant 48.9% increase year over year — compared with US$57.26 million per day in the same period last year.

Average beef price rises 18% year over year
Average export prices for beef also increased. By the third week of October, the average price reached US$5,506.3 per tonne, up 18.1% from the same period in 2024, when it averaged US$4,661.7 per tonne.

The rise reflects the greater appreciation of Brazilian beef in global markets, driven by its quality and the resumption of contracts with key trade partners.

Outlook remains positive for the October close
With strong shipments, higher prices, and growing revenues, Brazilian beef exports are expected to end October at a high level, reinforcing the sector’s importance in the country’s agribusiness trade balance.

The performance also underscores the resilience of Brazil’s meatpacking industry, even amid exchange rate fluctuations and shifts in global consumption.
