Brazil’s beef exports to China surge 35% as trade ties deepen: Video
Brazilian beef shipments to China jumped 35% in volume in January compared with the same month last year, reinforcing China’s position as Brazil’s leading export market, according to the Brazilian Association of Meat Exporting Industries (Abiec).
China imported roughly 123,000 tonnes of Brazilian beef during the month, accounting for 46.6% of Brazil’s total meat exports. Analysts attribute the rise to long-term investment in cattle breeding and quality improvements, alongside sustained demand from China’s vast consumer market of around 1.4 billion people, where even modest shifts in consumption can significantly impact global trade flows.
