According to Conab’s estimates, the growth will be mainly driven by increased pork and poultry production. Pork output is forecast at 5.8 million tons, while poultry meat is projected to reach 15.9 million tons — both marking the highest levels ever recorded.
Thanks to these record production volumes, domestic pork availability is expected to rise to 4.3 million tons, while exports are projected to hit a new all-time high, exceeding 1.5 million tons.
Experts attribute this export growth to the strong competitiveness of Brazilian pork and the expansion of markets across Asia. Despite declining imports from China, the Philippines, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore continue to show stable demand. Notably, the Philippines has overtaken China to become the largest importer of Brazilian pork.
Analysts predict that 2026 could become a record year for Brazil’s meat industry, reinforcing the country’s position as one of the global leaders in meat production and exports.
