Agribusiness exports in October 2022 hit a record for the month, reaching US$ 14.25 billion, 61.3% higher than in October 2021.

The increase in corn shipments was one of the main factors for the strong increase, with volume up 301.7% for the period. In the first ten months of the year, the total volume of exported grains reached 134 million tons, equivalent to practically half of the Brazilian grain harvest, which was estimated by Conab at 270.9 million tons (2021/2022 harvest).

Between January and October 2022, Brazilian agribusiness exports reached a record US$ 136.10 billion, representing an increase of 33% compared to the US$ 102.35 billion exported in the same period in 2021. The sector represented 48.5% of Brazil's total foreign sales in the period.

In October, the soybean complex, which is the main export sector of Brazilian agribusiness, exported US$ 3.68 billion (+49.6%), with an increase in export volume (+27.6%) and in the international prices of the sector's products (+17.2%).

The foreign sales of meat reached US$ 2.28 billion (+50.8%). The amount was strongly influenced by average export prices, which rose 29.9% between October 2022 and October 2021. There was also an expansion in the volume traded, which rose 16.1%.

Asia is the geographic region with the greatest participation in Brazilian agribusiness exports. China is the largest trading partner of Brazilian agribusiness, and in October sales to the Asian country grew 81.8%.
