Brazil farm export revenue slips into negative territory as soy tumbles
SAO PAULO, Sept 18 (Reuters) -Brazil's farm export revenues fell 9.5% in August compared with a year earlier, official data showed on Wednesday, leading this year's total to slip into negative territory after a drop in shipments of soybean and its processed products.
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Agribusiness is a major driver of Brazil's economy, accounting for 48.6% of its export revenues last month and 49.2% so far this year. The South American agricultural powerhouse is a top global supplier of soybean, corn, sugar, coffee and meat.
BY THE NUMBERS
Farm export revenues last month totaled $14.13 billion, Brazil's Agriculture Ministry said. In the January-August period, it added, revenues reached $111.76 billion - a 0.6% decline from the first eight months of 2023.
ADDITIONAL CONTEXT
Until July, despite lower commodity prices in global markets this year, Brazil's farm export revenues were still up 1% when compared with 2023, when the country managed to ship record volumes of soybean and corn, buoyed by higher prices.
Increased cotton, meat, coffee and sugar shipments in 2024 had been helping keep revenues up, but they were not enough to offset a 19.7% drop in revenues from the soy complex (which comprises soybeans, meal and oil) last month.
OTHER PRODUCTS
Soft commodities are among the highlights of the year for Brazil, according to government data, as sugar export revenues have jumped 40% so far in 2023 to $12 billion while coffee revenues rose 45% in the period to $7 billion.
Revenues from meat exports, meanwhile, are up 4.3% so far this year to $16.3 billion.
