Brazil egg exports hit record 40,900 tonnes in 2025, industry group says

Egg exports from Brazil, including both shell eggs and processed products, totaled 40,894 tonnes in the 12 months of 2025, the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) said, marking a historical record. The volume was up 121.4% from the 18,469 tonnes shipped in the same period of 2024.

Export revenue also reached a record high. Full-year proceeds totaled $97.240 million, a 147.5% increase from $39.282 million in 2024.

In December alone, Brazil exported 2,257 tonnes of eggs, up 9.9% from 2,054 tonnes shipped in December 2024. Revenue for the month rose 18.4% year on year to $5.110 million, compared with $4.317 million a year earlier.

Among the main destinations in 2025, the United States led in cumulative volume, with 19,597 tonnes, an increase of 826.7% from 2024. Japan followed with 5,375 tonnes, up 229.1%, while shipments to Chile totaled 4,124 tonnes, down 40%. Mexico imported 3,195 tonnes, a rise of 495.6%, and the United Arab Emirates received 3,097 tonnes, up 31.5%.

According to ABPA President Ricardo Santin, the year was marked by a sharp rise in exports to the United States, a trend that later lost momentum following the imposition of higher tariffs. He said the sector subsequently reorganized, with new destinations gaining traction, notably Japan, a higher value-added market that led Brazilian shipments in the final months of the year.

Santin added that export volumes surpassed the equivalent of 1% of Brazil’s total egg production, a milestone for the sector’s international expansion without affecting domestic supply, which continues to absorb around 99% of national output. He said this shift, combined with early-year weather conditions marked by high temperatures and the approach of the Lenten period, when demand typically rises, should help balance supply in the domestic market.
