Brazilian agribusiness exports reached US$14.29 billion in August 2025, up 1.5% compared to the same month last year. This performance was driven by a 5.1% increase in shipped volume, which offset a 3.4% drop in average international prices, according to data released by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA).
The main export products—soybeans, fresh beef, and corn—accounted for most of the growth. Soybeans exported 9.3 million tons, up 16.21 TP4T from August 2024, generating US$1.5T in revenue, an increase of 111 TP4T. Beef exported 268,000 tons, up 23.51 TP4T, and generating US$1.5T in revenue, an increase of 561 TP4T. Corn exported 6.8 million tons, up 12.91 TP4T, generating US$1.36 billion, an increase of 171 TP4T.

In addition to traditional products, items such as beef tallow, oilseeds (excluding soybeans), beans, pet food, and peanut oil posted their best performances ever in August. Beef tallow totaled 64.7 thousand tons (+17.2%), generating US$$ 74.1 million (+36.4%). Oilseeds reached 68.5 thousand tons (+10%), with revenue of US$$ 71.3 million (+16.5%). Beans registered 58.4 thousand tons (+29%) and US$$ 49.5 million in revenue (+27.5%). Pet food reached US$$ 35.9 million, an increase of 22.6%. Peanut oil saw an expansion of 358% in exports, reaching 13.3 thousand tons and US$ 20 million in revenue, an increase of 573.4% compared to August 2024.
China remained the largest destination for Brazilian agricultural products, with US$1.5 billion, an increase of US$32.91 billion and a share of US$35.81 billion in exports. The European Union remained in second place, with US$1.9 billion. Among the expanding markets, Mexico (+US$1.91 billion, US$1.5 million), driven mainly by meat, and Egypt (+US$1.41 billion, US$1.5 million), driven by corn, stand out. Other Asian countries, such as India (+US$37.31 billion) and Thailand (+US$9.51 billion), also saw growth in purchases of Brazilian products.
The results reflect the Ministry of Agriculture's strategy of opening and diversifying markets. In August 2025 alone, 22 new export destinations were approved, increasing the total number of markets from 58 in August 2024 to 72. The 55 international trade negotiation and promotion missions carried out throughout the year contributed to expanding access to different production chains.
