According to the Secretariat of Commerce and International Relations of the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (Mapa), foreign sales of Brazilian agricultural commodities registered US $ 96.8 billion last year, representing 43.2% of Brazil’s total exports. This is an increase from 2018 where agribusiness accounted for 42.3% of total exports.

The biggest agricultural exports were corn, meat and cotton. Corn registered a record volume of 43.25 million tons, breaking the 2017 record of 29.25 million tons.

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.
