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

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

Why This Record Harvest Is a Game-Changer for Importers:<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. \n

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

  2. \n

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

  3. \n

    The “Safrinha” Success:<\/b> Brazil\u2019s unique ability to grow a massive second corn crop (the <\/span>Safrinha<\/i>) ensures a year-round supply of fresh,<\/span> high-energy feed.<\/span> This consistency is why our <\/span>SIF-certified chicken<\/b> maintains such uniform weight and quality regardless of the season.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
