The Feed Advantage: How Brazil’s Record 2026 Harvest Lowers Your Costs

In 2026, the global meat market is facing a clear divide. While many nations struggle with rising production costs and supply chain instability, Brazil is moving in the opposite direction. Thanks to a projected record-shattering grain harvest, Global Exporter BR is able to offer some of the most competitive pricing in the world.

According to the latest 2026 forecasts from Conab (Brazil’s National Supply Company) and the USDA, Brazil is set to produce approximately 353 million metric tons of grains and oilseeds this cycle.

Why This Record Harvest Is a Game-Changer for Importers:

1. Lower Feed Costs = Stable Meat Prices: Animal feed represents roughly 70% to 75% of the cost of producing chicken and pork. With a record soybean crop of 176 million tons and corn production reaching 138 million tons, our feed prices remain well below international benchmarks. This allows us to absorb global inflationary pressures better than any other exporter.

2. Vertical Integration: Most of our partner plants in 2026 are “fully integrated.” This means they own the grain storage, the feed mills, and the processing plants. By removing the “middleman” from the feed supply chain, we pass those savings directly to you.

3. The “Safrinha” Success: Brazil’s unique ability to grow a massive second corn crop (the Safrinha) ensures a year-round supply of fresh, high-energy feed. This consistency is why our SIF-certified chicken maintains such uniform weight and quality regardless of the season.
