Brazilian pork exports (including all products, both fresh and processed) totaled 151,600 tons (t) in September. This is the highest monthly volume recorded and is 25.9% higher than the total exported in the same period last year (120,400 t).
Export revenues in September also set a record. This year, US$368.4 million was generated, 29.9% more than the US$283.7 million in the same period in 2024.
With September's impressive performance, pork shipments amassed a 13.2% increase in export volume between January and September this year, compared to the same period last year, totaling 1.121 million tons (Mt) in 2025, compared to 990,700 tons in the same period in 2024. Revenue growth was 24.6%, reaching US$2.702 billion this year, compared to US$2.169 billion the previous year.

The Philippines continues to expand its participation in Brazilian exports, with 49,000 tons of pork imported in September, up 73.9% compared to the same period last year. It is followed by China with 13,600 tons (-18.2%), Japan with 11,400 tons (+32.4%), Vietnam with 9,600 tons (+39.8%), Mexico with 9,600 tons (+55.8%), Chile with 8,300 tons (-13.7%), Hong Kong with 8,200 tons (-5.3%), Singapore with 5,600 tons (+2.2%), Argentina with 4,200 tons (+82.2%), and Georgia with 4,000 tons (+120%).
Although it is the main destination, the Philippines is not the only driver of strong demand for Brazilian products, which are growing at significantly high rates in strategic markets. Demand is expected to continue, and the year is expected to end with record results, says ABPA President Ricardo Santin.
Santa Catarina remains the largest pork exporting state, with 72,700 tons exported in September (+17.4% compared to the same period last year), followed by Rio Grande do Sul, with 35,700 tons (+39.6%), Paraná, with 25,300 tons (+35.5%), Minas Gerais, with 2,900 tons (-10.6%), and Mato Grosso, with 3,900 tons (+19.1%).
