# Brazilian Beef Exports Decline 35.5% in October Amid Reduced Chinese Demand, Offset by Growth in Other Markets

> Brazilian beef exports fell 35.5% by volume and 27.9% by revenue year over year in October 2026, with lower Chinese purchases following trade safeguard measures. Exports to other markets rose 10.7% by volume, including a 174.4% increase in shipments to the United States.

## Why it matters

Reduced Chinese buying shifts Brazilian export supply toward other destinations, while stronger demand elsewhere partly offsets the decline. The change could weigh on Brazilian cattle prices if alternative markets cannot absorb the displaced volume.
