Santa Catarina was responsible for 55.3% of the volume and 57% of the revenue from Brazilian pork exports in the first nine months of this year. The state exported 61,400 tons of pork (fresh, processed, and offal) in September, down 0.7% from the previous month, but up 10.1% compared to September 2023. Revenues in September reached US$150.4 million, up 0.1% from the previous month and 18% from September 2023.
