Egg exports grew 29.41% in September, reaching 2,700 tons.

Brazilian egg exports, considering both fresh and processed products, totaled 2,686 thousand tons in September, a volume 29.4% higher than that recorded in the same month of 2025, when 2,076 thousand tons were shipped, according to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA).

Revenue reached US$5.866 million in the first quarter of the fifth quarter, a result higher than the US$5.536 million recorded in September of last year.

In the period from January to September, exports totaled 22,669 thousand tons, a volume 34.1% lower than the 34,378 thousand tons shipped in the same period of 2025. Accumulated revenue totaled US$49.769 million, a decrease of 38.4% compared to the US$80.832 million recorded in the previous year.

The cumulative comparison is especially influenced by purchases made by the United States in 2025, when the country faced the impacts of Avian Influenza on domestic supply. Between January and September of that year, the US market imported 19,515 tons of Brazilian eggs, compared to 168 tons in the same period of 2026.

Excluding shipments to the United States in both periods, Brazilian exports grew 51.41% between January and September, rising from 14,863 thousand tons in 2025 to 22,501 thousand tons in 2026.

Chile was the main destination for Brazilian egg exports in September, with 1,204 tons, a volume 201.3% higher than the 400 tons shipped in the same month of 2025. Following Chile were Japan, with 351 tons (-49.3%, compared to 692 tons); Ecuador, with 300 tons, with no shipments recorded in the same month of the previous year; Mexico, with 244 tons (-2.6%, compared to 251 tons); and Sierra Leone, with 135 tons, also with no shipments recorded in September 2025.

“The growth recorded in September and the expansion of sales to markets such as Chile and Ecuador demonstrate the diversification of destinations for Brazilian eggs. The accumulated decline stems essentially from the exceptional nature of purchases made by the United States in 2025. When we remove this effect from the comparison, we observe growth exceeding 50%, which confirms the consistent advance of the international presence of the Brazilian product,” analyzes the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
