Meat exports are crucial for sustaining prices across the entire national livestock supply chain. And, throughout 2025, external demand for Brazilian protein has been strong.<\/p>\n
According to data from Secex, from January to June, Brazilian beef exports (fresh and processed) generated external revenues of US$1.5 billion, US$7.2 billion, US$2.7 billion higher than that obtained in the first half of 2024.<\/p>\n
Cepea researchers indicate that this scenario is the result of a 12.5% increase in the volume shipped in the first half of the year compared to the same period last year and a 12.7% increase in the average price in dollars.<\/p>\n
In the Brazilian market, a Cepea survey shows that the beginning of July has been marked by low liquidity and falling prices.<\/p>\n
Meatpacking plants, with longer layovers, show little interest in purchasing new animals for slaughter, while livestock farmers are offering cautiously.<\/p>\n
Thus, data from Cepea show that, in the accumulated partial of July (up to the 8th), the beef carcass \u2013 cash, in the wholesale market of Greater S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 registered a devaluation of 3.4%, sold at an average of R$ 21.30\/kg on the 8th.<\/p>\n
Also in the partial for this month, the decline in the CEPEA\/ESALQ Indicator for beef cattle (state of S\u00e3o Paulo) is 3.7%, closing at R$ 305.60 on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
