PT_BR Brazilian agribusiness exports reached US$14.29 billion in August 2025, an increase of 1.5% compared to the same month last year. This performance was driven by a 5.1% increase in the volume shipped, 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 products in the export portfolio — soybeans, fresh beef, and corn — accounted for most of the growth. Soybeans registered 9.3 million tons exported, 16.21% above August 2024, generating US$3.88 billion in revenue, an increase of 11%. Beef reached 268,000 tons, a growth of 23.5% and revenues of US$1.5 billion, an increase of 56%. Corn totaled 6.8 million tons, an expansion of 12.9%, generating US$1.36 billion, an increase of 17%.

Beef tallow totaled 64,700 tons (+17.2% of the time), generating US$74.1 million (+36.4% of the time). Oilseeds reached 68,500 tons (+10% of the time), with revenues of US$71.3 million (+16.5% of the time). Beans registered 58,400 tons (+29% of the time) and US$49.5 million in revenue (+27.5% of the time). Pet food reached US$35.9 million, a growth of 22.6% of the time. Meanwhile, peanut oil exports expanded by 358%, reaching 13,300 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$5.12 billion, an increase of 32.91% and a 35.81% share of exports. The European Union follows in second place, with US$1.9 billion. Among the expanding markets, Mexico (+91.91%, US$339 million), driven mainly by meat, and Egypt (+14%, US$342 million), driven by corn, stand out. Other Asian countries, such as India (+37.3%) and Thailand (+9.5%), also registered growth in purchases of Brazilian products.
The results reflect the Ministry of Agriculture's strategy focused on opening and diversifying markets. In August 2025 alone, 22 new export destinations were authorized, raising 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 for different production chains.
