Agribusiness exports total US$15.49 billion in October and set a record for the month

Brazilian agribusiness exports totaled US$15.49 billion in October 2025, the highest value ever recorded for the month in the historical series, up 8.5% from October 2024. Imports of agricultural products totaled US$1.79 billion, resulting in a surplus of approximately US$13.7 billion.

The performance was supported by a 10.1% increase in shipped volume, despite a 1.4% decline in average international prices. October maintains the sequence of elevated results observed in the second half of the year: in July, agribusiness exports totaled US$15.6 billion, and in September, US$14.95 billion, signaling a monthly level close to US$15 billion.

Among the highlights, soybeans, beef, coffee, sugar, corn, pulp, chicken meat, and pork recorded value and/or volume records for the month of October.

China remains the main destination, with US$4.95 billion (32% of total agribusiness exports in the month), driven mainly by soybeans and beef. Next come the European Union and the United States, as well as markets such as Egypt, India, and Iran, which reinforce the geographic diversification of Brazilian exports, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa.

NICHES ON THE RISE: OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND THE TRADITIONAL EXPORT PORTFOLIO

The month of October also brought records in less traditional products of the export portfolio, which signal new opportunities for companies of different sizes:

• Peanuts: record volume, with 33 thousand tonnes (+85.3%);
• Pet food: record value, with US$ 43.2 million (+42.7%);
• Soluble coffee: record value (US$ 101 million; +32.8%) and volume (8 thousand tonnes; +11.3%);
• Oilseed seeds (except soybeans): records in value (US$ 69.8 million; +41.8%) and quantity (68.6 thousand tonnes; +77%);
• Dried, crushed or powdered black pepper: record value, with US$ 435.7 million;
• Beef offal: record quantity, with 25.2 thousand tonnes (+29.6%);
• Beef tallow: record value (US$ 431.03 million) and quantity (390.41 thousand tonnes);
• Dry beans: record value (US$ 379.73 million) and quantity (452.88 thousand tonnes).

These items have been gaining space in the international market thanks to the strategy of market opening and expansion led by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock (Mapa), in partnership with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MRE). In October, this initiative resulted in the opening of 28 new markets, the equivalent of almost one new opportunity per day for companies seeking to diversify their international presence.

Overall, less traditional products in the export portfolio increased 9.1% in October and 17.9% in the year to date (January to October), compared to the same period in 2024.

In the January to October 2025 cumulative period, agribusiness exports totaled US$ 141.97 billion, a 1.4% increase compared to the same period of the previous year. Imports of agricultural products totaled US$ 17 billion, up 4.9% compared to 2024, resulting in a surplus of US$ 124.97 billion, slightly above that recorded in the same interval last year.
