Brazil's pork exports reached a record high of 1.02 million tons in 2020

On January 5th the latest statistics from the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) showed that Brazil's pork exports in 2020 reached a record high of 1.021 million tonnes, amounting to US$2.27 billion, up 36.1% and 42.2% year-on-year, respectively.
The association predicted early last month that total pork exports would break the one million-tonne mark in 2020 and continue to maintain strong export momentum in 2021, but the diminishing impact of African swine fever in China and expanding local anti-epidemic spending will put some pressure on export expansion.
December, Pakistani pork exports amounted to 803,000 tons, or $191.2 million, up 5.6% and 4.1% year-on-year, respectively.
results show once again that international demand for Brazilian commodities has grown steadily despite the impact of the outbreak.
also showed that Brazil's chicken exports in 2020 were 4.23 million tonnes, up just 0.4 per cent year-on-year to $6,123m, down 12.5 per cent year-on-year.
chicken exports in December were 380.8 million tons, or $579.6 million, down 2.8% and 8.9% year-on-year, respectively.
Association President Icador said last year was a challenging year, but record pork exports, steady growth in chicken exports, and the association's industry export results in line with expectations to prove the good performance of Brazilian products in the international market, I believe that with the gradual recovery of the global economy this year, Brazil's meat export market will further stabilize to good.
