The average price of beef exported by Mato Grosso in May exceeded, for the first time since October 2022, the mark of US$$ 4,000 per ton. According to the weekly bulletin of the Mato Grosso Institute of Agricultural Economics (Imea), the value reached US$$ 4,067.99 last month, equivalent to R$$ 22,577.34.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is an appreciation of the sector\u2019s work in the production of Mato Grosso meat. Our goal is not only to increase exports, but also to ensure that this animal protein gains greater value in the international market,\u201d says Bruno de Jesus Andrade, Project Director at the Mato Grosso Meat Institute (Imac).<\/p>\n
In May, Mato Grosso exported 65.8 thousand tons in carcass equivalent, the second largest volume recorded in 2024. China remains the main destination for Mato Grosso beef, responsible for 54.8% of exports. The Asian country was also the one that paid the highest average price in the period: US$ 4,075.43 per ton.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe outlook is positive. We expect demand to remain strong in the second half of the year, especially with the continued strong performance of China, which should continue to drive prices and export volumes,\u201d says Andrade.<\/p>\n
Another factor that should contribute to the growth of exports is the opening of new markets. In May, the Federal Government approved the approval of the health certificate that authorizes the export of Brazilian beef to the Bahamas.<\/p>\n
\u201cEntering new markets reflects the high level of confidence of international authorities in the Brazilian health system, one of the most rigorous in the world. This strengthens our position as a safe and reliable supplier, not only to the Bahamas, but also to strategic destinations such as China, the United States and the United Arab Emirates,\u201d highlights the director of Imac.<\/p>\n
