Aug, 15, 2022 Posted by Sylvia SchandertWeek 202233
Mercosur is again consolidating as the leading global exporter of beef with shipments of almost 1,8 million tons during the first half of the year, according to primary information from different sources. Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina and Paraguay in that order were the main suppliers.
Brazil in the first seven months of this year exported 1,1 million tons of fresh, chilled and frozen beef, according to Canal Rural, and since during July sales are estimated at 160/180.000 tons, the total volume for the first half of the year would be just below the million tons.
Giovani Ferreira from Canal Rural forecasts that at this rate, in the twelve months of 2022, Brazil sales volume should reach 1.8 million tons, establishing a new record, above the 1,7 million tons of 2020.
