Brazil’s total egg exports, covering both fresh and processed products, climbed nearly 305% in July to 5,259 metric tons, according to industry group ABPA. The sharp rise was driven largely by increased US purchases following a bird flu outbreak that reduced domestic supplies and pushed prices higher.
From January to July 2025, the United States was the leading buyer of Brazilian eggs, importing 18,976 metric tons—an increase of 1,419% compared to the same period last year—generating close to $41 million in revenue.
However, the outlook for this trade flow faces uncertainty. On August 6, President Donald Trump announced a 50% tariff on Brazilian imports, including eggs, coffee, and beef. While the US demand for eggs remains strong due to ongoing shortages, the higher import costs could slow shipments in the coming months.
ABPA stated that it is too soon to gauge the tariff’s impact on the sector, though it noted that sustained demand might help maintain export volumes. Outside of the United States, Brazil’s key egg markets include Chile, Japan, and Mexico.
