The start of 2026 has brought unprecedented clarity to the meat industry. While other nations struggle with climate-related herd contractions and high production costs, Brazil’s integrated agricultural model—utilizing our massive “double-crop” system of soy and corn—is fueling a production surge that is stabilizing global food prices.
Beef: A Historic Milestone
Market estimates released in mid-January 2026 confirm that Brazil produced over 12.5 million tons of beef in 2025/2026, overtaking the U.S. output. This growth is driven by:
-
Surging Export Demand: Markets like China and the U.S. itself are turning to Brazil to fill supply gaps.
-
Feed Efficiency: Our proximity to the world’s largest corn and soy production clusters keeps our feedlots efficient and our prices competitive.
Chicken: Heading for 15.86 Million Tons
While beef captures the headlines, the Brazil top chicken exporter title is backed by even more impressive data. Conab (Brazil’s National Supply Agency) forecasts a record 15.86 million metric tons of chicken meat production for 2026.
-
Sanitary Security: Brazil remains free from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in its commercial flocks, providing a “Sanitary Fortress” that importers trust.
-
Global Reach: Exports are projected to reach 5.5 million tons, capturing nearly 38% of the global trade.
️ The Infrastructure Advantage: Port of Paranaguá
Logistics in 2026 are defined by the “Moegão” project. This R$ 650 million investment at the Port of Paranaguá has centralized rail reception, allowing for the unloading of 900 railcars per day. For you, this means faster turnaround times and lower freight costs for every container of frozen chicken or premium beef.
