By: Brazilian egg exports (including fresh and processed products) totalled 24,915 tonnes in the first half of 2025, according to a survey by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA). The volume is 192.5% higher than that recorded in the same period last year, with 8,518 tonnes shipped.
The revenue obtained from exports between January and June reached US$57.759 million, a result 216.3% higher than that recorded in the same period of 2024, which was US$18.622 million.
In June alone, egg shipments reached 6,558 tonnes, a number 308.3% higher than that recorded in the same month of 2024. The revenue obtained in the month was US$15.659 million, a balance 288.8% higher than in June of the previous year.
The United States consolidated itself as the main destination for Brazilian exports in the semester, with 15,202 tonnes shipped (+1247%), generating revenue of US$33.1 million (+1586.2%). Next come Mexico, with 1,586 tonnes and US$6.9 million in revenue, and Japan, with 1,570 tonnes (+152.1%) and US$3.7 million (+143.2%).
Other highlights include Angola, with 686 tonnes and US$1.1 million; Sierra Leone, with 473 tonnes (+359.6%) and US$766,000 (+373.5%); and Uruguay, with 369 tonnes (-14.3%) and US$1.24 million (-18.5%). On the other hand, Chile recorded a 16.6% drop in volumes (2,426 tonnes) and a slight 2% contraction in revenue, with US$6.85 million.
"Egg shipments reached historic levels in this first half of the year, with a strong expansion of the Brazilian presence in strategic markets such as the United States, Mexico and Japan," said ABPA president Ricardo Santin.
"The scenario reinforces the confidence of the international market in the quality, biosecurity and competitiveness of the Brazilian product," he added. "With the maintenance of current market conditions, the expectation is that the second half of the year will consolidate a new cycle of growth in the sector's exports, without significant impacts on the internal supply of products."
