In the first five months of 2025, Brazil exported 1.046 billion tonnes of beef at an average price of US$5,020 per tonne.

The volume increased by 10.4% and the average value by 11.0% compared to the same period last year.

Poultry MEAT exports fell sharply by 18% month-on-month to 441,000 tonnes due to market closures following a case of bird flu detected in Rio Grande do Sul.
