Brazil shipped 45,600 tonnes of beef to China in October, up 253.6% from September but 76.1% below October 2025. Brazil’s total beef exports fell 35.5% year on year, while shipments to several other markets grew and helped offset weaker Chinese purchases.
Reduced Chinese buying and lower total export volumes may ease demand for Brazilian cattle and beef, although higher international prices and diversification to other markets offer some support.
