Brazil’s agricultural export sector has shown remarkable resilience against potential trade war threats from the US, achieving a record-breaking export value of $15.6 billion in July 2025. This marks a 1.5% increase compared to the same month last year and is the highest monthly value in the sector’s history. The growth was driven by an increase in both the volume of goods shipped and their international prices, demonstrating the sector’s strength despite global economic uncertainties.
Brazilian authorities and private sector representatives have intensified their efforts to diversify export markets, which helped mitigate the impact of trade tensions with the US. China remains the top destination for Brazilian agricultural products, followed by the European Union, which saw a significant increase in imports. The government has also opened 399 new markets for its agricultural goods since the beginning of the current administration, including the recent approval of 32 new companies to sell coffee to China. This diversification strategy has proven effective in maintaining revenue despite a dip in commodity prices.
