Brazil’s pork exports drop 30% in volume and 6.5% in revenue through the third week of November

Brazilian exports of fresh, chilled, or frozen pork totaled 75.1 thousand tonnes through the third week of November 2025, according to data released by the Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex) this Monday (24). The result represents a sharp drop compared with the same period last year, when 107.6 thousand tonnes were shipped in 19 business days.

The daily average exported this month was 5.3 thousand tonnes, a decrease of 5.3% compared with the average recorded in November 2024, which was 5.6 thousand tonnes per day.

Average pork prices register a slight decline

In the international market, the average price of Brazilian pork declined slightly. The tonne was traded at an average of US$2,506.20, a value 1.3% lower than in the same period of the previous year (US$2,540.10 per tonne).

The reduction in average prices reflects greater global competition and fluctuations in demand from importing countries, which have been pressuring sector margins.

Export revenue also decreases

With lower volumes shipped and lower prices, accumulated revenue from Brazilian pork exports reached US$188.3 million through the third week of November. In the same month of 2024, revenue had reached US$ 273.4 million, which represents a significant drop in the annual comparison.

The daily average revenue decreased 6.5%, falling from US$ 14.39 million in November last year to US$ 13.45 million this month.

Sector monitors external scenario with caution

With the slowdown in sales and the decline in prices, Brazil’s pork industry is closely watching the behavior of international demand over the coming weeks. The expectation is that possible restocking in Asian markets may help boost shipments at the end of November and beginning of December.
