The total exports volume in 2019 was 4.3% lower compared to 2018. “This drop was due to the fall in the Brazilian agribusiness export price index, which fell 6.9% in 2019. This decrease was offset by an increase of 2.7% in the quantum index of exports, the equivalent of a 2.7% increase in 2019 export volume “, says an announcement from the Secretariat.
