In 2023, Santa Catarina exported 658,200 tons of pork (fresh, processed, and offal), up 9.3% from the previous year. Revenues totaled US$ 1.57 billion, an increase of 9.7% compared to 2022. These are the best results recorded since the historical series began in 1997.
The positive results for this period are due to the growth in shipments to most of the main buyers, especially the Philippines, Chile, and Japan. China, although it reduced its purchases of pork from Santa Catarina last year (-21.4% in quantity and -22.6% in revenue), was the main destination for the product, accounting for 34.6% of shipments.
In 2023, a total of 17.86 million pigs were produced in Santa Catarina and destined for slaughter, an increase of 2.1% compared to production in 2022. This is the largest number of pigs ever produced in the state.
