Brazilian egg exports gained strong momentum in September 2026, driven by rising international demand and a diverse range of destination markets. According to data released by the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA), Brazil shipped 2,686 tons of fresh and processed egg products that month.
This figure represents a 29.4. 4% increase compared with September 2025, when Brazil exported 2,076 tons. In financial terms, export revenue in September reached US $ 5. 866 million, marking a 6% year- over- year increase.
Chile remained the leading destination for Brazilian eggs, receiving 1, 204 tons in September alone—an increase of 201. 3% compared with September 2025.
Following Chile, the primary markets that increased their imports of Brazilian eggs included Japan, Ecuador, Mexico, and Sierra Leone.
This distribution spans South America, North America, Asia, and West Africa, highlighting Brazilian producers’ deliberate efforts to diversify geographically.
Although September 2026 performance was strong, cumulative data for the first nine months of the year indicates an overall year- to- date contraction. From January through September 2026, total exports reached 22, 22,669 tons, down 34. 1% compared with the same period in 2025, while total revenue declined 38. 4% to US $ 49. 769 million.
According to ABPA President Ricardo Santin, this cumulative decline is attributable to an unusual baseline effect. In 2025, the United States made extraordinary, atypical emergency purchases of eggs in response to the domestic impact of avian influenza.
“When we remove this effect from the comparison, we observe growth of more than 50%,” Santin noted, emphasising that comparisons against a normalised baseline reveal a resilient and rapidly expanding global presence for Brazilian poultry products.
Supported by consistent product quality, competitive pricing, and reliable supply chains, Brazil’s egg sector continues to evolve from a supplier of occasional emergency shipments into a consistent global exporter. As trade missions and international partnerships develop, Brazilian eggs are establishing a lasting presence in markets across multiple continents.
