Rio de Janeiro. Brazil’s agricultural product exports grew in 2025 despite the fact that since August sales to the United States were subject to 50 percent tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
The National Confederation of Agriculture of Brazil (CNA) released its results for the month of November on Tuesday and among the data stands out a growth in exports of 1.7 percent, which rose to 155 billion dollars, compared to 153 billion in the same period last year.
“Despite the restrictions on international trade imposed by United States tariffs, we achieved growth,” the CNA’s director of international relations, Sueme Mori, highlighted in a statement.
A good part of the products that were no longer sold to the United States ended up in China; In the Asian giant, Brazilian exports grew 10 percent and reached 52 billion dollars.
The European Union (EU) also increased purchases and remained the second largest recipient of Brazilian products (22.9 billion dollars), while the United States reduced its purchases by 4 percent, but remained the third destination of Brazilian agricultural exports, with 10.5 billion.
