Brazilian beef exports reached a new high in July 2025, driven by increased demand from China. Brazilian beef sales in July 2025 totaled 276,880 metric tons, up 16.7% from the previous year (Table 1).

In addition to record sales, the price of beef exported from Brazil has been rising. The average price in July 2025 of US$5.55 per kg was the highest for the period since 2022.

China, Brazil’s main beef importer, purchased 158,37 thousand metric tons of beef from Brazil in July 2025, the highest amount ever reached, surpassing the previous record set in October 2024 (157,34 thousand metric tons). Mexico was another positive highlight in July 2025, even surpassing purchases by the US, even before the implementation of additional tariffs on products imported from Brazil.

Considering the accumulated data for the year up to July, revenue and sales figures also reached record levels in 2025 (Table 2).
