Brazilian egg exports are expected to grow by 10% next year, after declining in 2024, forecasts the Brazilian Association for Animal Protein (ABPA). 

At 20,000 metric tons, Brazil’s sales of eggs overseas are expected to end this year 20% lower. However, the decrease follows a record high in exports in 2023 and, this year, particularly strong demand from the home market.

Overseas promotions

The Brazilian egg industry currently exports to 86 countries, with the majority of shipments, 64%, going to Asia.

The Americas, the second most important region for Brazilian egg exporters, accounts for a little over 22% of sales, and the industry is currently targeting the U.S., Mexico, Chile and Ecuador to increase market penetration. The European Union only accounts for 1.39% of the industry’s overseas sales and Brazil’s export bodies are currently targeting Germany which, it believes, could buy more Brazilian eggs. Other markets currently within exporters’ sights are Saudi Arabia and Senegal, amongst others.

Improved operating conditions

ABPA notes that the country’s egg producers have been experiencing improved market conditions this year, with lower operating costs and improved consumer demand at home.

While Brazilian exports will decline this year, production and consumption on the country’s home market are forecast to reach record highs. ABPA has forecast that output will reach 56.9 billion units, an increase of 8.5%, while per capita consumption will grow by 21 to stand at 263.

Now the world’s fifth-largest egg producer, ABPA estimates the country will produce 1,800 egg per second this year.
