S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Exports by Brazilian agribusiness reached USD 8.89 billion in April, an increase of 2.7% over the same month of 2017, according to data released this Tuesday (15) by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply (MAPA). The sector accounted for 44.8% of total foreign sales by the country last month, according to MAPA.<\/p>\n

The highlight in April, according to the ministry, was the performance of the forest products group, especially wood pulp (pictured above), with exports climbing 40.3% over the same month of last year to USD 643.8 million.<\/p>\n

Exports of soy bran climbed 31%<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The soy complex, which leads foreign sales by the Brazilian agribusiness, registered an increase of 30.7% in revenues, to USD 614.21 million, with exports of soy bran. MAPA reported that a drought impacted soy production in Argentina, which allowed Brazil to increase exports of the product.<\/p>\n

MAPA also points out the increase in foreign sales of cattle, tobacco and orange juice.<\/p>\n

Among the 20 top destinations in the month, Saudi Arabia is the only Arab country to appear on the list, with purchases worth USD 109.61 million, down 51.2% over April of 2017. China was, by far, the biggest market for the Brazilian agribusiness in the period, with imports of USD 3.65 billion.<\/p>\n

Year-to-date<\/strong><\/p>\n

From January to April, the Brazilian agribusiness exported USD 30.47 billion worth of products, up 4.4% over the same period of last year. The country\u2019s total foreign sales have been increasing in a quicker pace than foreign sales by the agribusiness, therefore the agribusiness share in total exports declined from 42.8% in 2017\u2019s first four months to 40.9% in the same period of 2018.<\/p>\n

According to MAPA, from January to April stood out the exports of wood pulp, tobacco, soy bran, cattle and orange juice.<\/p>\n

Saudi Arabia appears in 12th<\/sup> place among the 20 top markets, with imports worth USD 569 million, a decline of 34% over last year\u2019s first four months. The United Arab Emirates stood at 18th<\/sup>, with imports of USD 410 million, up 9% in the same comparison.<\/p>\n

Top Arab markets <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to MAPA, year-over-year, two Arab countries stood out among importers of Brazilian products: Egypt, with USD 2.14 billion in imports, up 96.7% over the previous 12 months; and the UAE, with USD 1.72 billion in imports, up 26.5% in the same comparison. Both destinations appear, respectively, at the 8th<\/sup> and 15th<\/sup> position among the top 20 markets in the period. Saudi Arabia appears at the 14th<\/sup> place, with USD 1.84 billion in imports, a decline of 19.4%.<\/p>\n
