Key international markets included Chile, Japan, the United Arab Emirates, and Mexico.
BRAZIL – Brazil shipped a total of 2,939 tons of eggs, including fresh and processed products, in February 2026, a 16.3% increase compared to 2,527 tons exported in the same month of 2025.
Revenue from egg exports grew faster than volume, reaching US$6.175 million in February, up 25.1% from US$4.936 million recorded a year earlier.
In the first two months of 2026, Brazil exported 6,025 tons of eggs, a 23.4% increase from 4,884 tons during the same period in 2025.
Earnings from exports in January and February reached US$12.583 million, marking a 37.9% increase from US$9.122 million generated in the first two months of 2025.
Chile received the largest share of Brazilian eggs in February with 767 tons, a rise of 156.8% over February 2025, while shipments to Japan totalled 524 tons, up 143.5% year-on-year.
Exports to Mexico increased by 12.7% to 284 tons, whereas deliveries to the United Arab Emirates decreased slightly by 3.1% to 531 tons.
The Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA) attributed the export figures to the sector’s widening international reach and the diversification of its markets.
ABPA president Ricardo Santin said the early-year results point to steady export growth, especially across Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
Santin added that the variety of export destinations and the competitive pricing of Brazilian eggs have supported the sector’s presence in global markets and helped establish a consistent export pattern.
The performance in February aligns with trends from the start of the year, indicating that Brazil’s egg industry continues to expand its footprint in international trade.
Markets in Asia and Latin America accounted for the majority of the increased demand, while the overall trend suggests a gradual stabilisation in the sector’s export performance.
This growth in exports follows broader movements in Brazil’s poultry sector, which has increasingly targeted international buyers to complement domestic sales.
Brazilian egg producers are continuing to explore new markets to maintain export growth and diversify revenue streams beyond traditional buyers in the region.
