Brazilian exports of agricultural products totaled US$ 10.8 billion in January, according to a technical note released by the Ministry of Agriculture. The figure represents a 2.2% year-on-year decline, equivalent to US$ 244 million less.<\/p>\n
Despite the annual drop, the result was the third-highest on record for January. Agribusiness accounted for 42.8% of Brazil\u2019s total exports during the period.<\/p>\n
According to Agriculture Minister Carlos F\u00e1varo, the sector\u2019s performance reflects advances in animal health standards and trade negotiations. Highlights include Brazil\u2019s recognition as free of foot-and-mouth disease without vaccination and the removal of additional U.S. tariffs on products such as fresh beef.<\/p>\n
According to the ministry, these factors expand market access and help sustain agribusiness performance even amid lower international prices.<\/p>\n
