Main destinations
Since the beginning of the year, China has accounted for 75% of Brazil’s soybean sales, followed by Spain (5%) and Türkiye (4%).
In corn shipments, Egypt (29%) overtook Vietnam and Iran, both with 20%, as the main destination. The drop in exports to Iran reflects the consequences of the conflict in the Middle East for the sector.
Kenya (24%) and Vietnam (20%) lead wheat imports, while Indonesia (21%) and Thailand (12%) are the main destinations for Brazilian soybean meal.
