"The international flow of Brazilian pork remains quite positive in 2026, especially in Asian markets, which continue to expand their demand for animal protein," said Ricardo Santin, president of ABPA. "We observe significant progress in higher value-added destinations, such as Japan, in addition to the expansion of the Philippines as a major market for the Brazilian sector."
"The positive performance in virtually all importing markets reinforces the positive outlook projected by ABPA for this year," he added.
