Beef prices remain heated in Brazil and, according to a Farmnews survey, from January 1st to June 10th this year the average price was R$ 306.6 per arroba, a result 53.2% higher than observed in the same period of 2020 (R$ 200.2).
From January to May this year, Brazilian pork exports totaled 453.9 thousand tons, this result being 18.44% higher than the one shipped in the same period in 2020.
Brazilian meat exports should continue to grow and, this year, it is estimated that Brazil will increase its animal protein shipments to the world market by 5%.
According to the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), pork exports from Paraná and Rio Grande do Sul have the potential to advance 10% this year and up to 35% in 2022.
The constant increase in animal production costs and the good performance of Brazilian animal protein exports should keep prices for beef, chicken and pork meat high.
