S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian meat exports rose 10.7% in January compared with the same month of last year, and totalled US$ 868.4 million. Despite the good performance, the segment did not guarantee growth in overall exports by the segment, which dropped by 1.8% compared with January 2009 and totalled US$ 4 billion.<\/p>\n
According to figures disclosed by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Supply, with regard to meats, raw meat had the best performance. Foreign sales of the product grew 43.1%, and generated revenues of US$ 318 million, equivalent to 18.4% of total meat exports. <\/p>\n
Sales of the so-called sugar and alcohol complex were also good. Sugar exports increased by 34.3%, leading to a 28.3% rise in exports, which totalled to US$ 845.6 million. Coffee was another highlight in the export basket. The product had growth of 13.8% in shipments, with US$ 358.9 million in revenues. <\/p>\n
According to the ministry, the drop in overall exports resulted from reduced exports of the soy complex, which consists of grain, chaff and oil. Sales fell by 55.3% volume-wise and by 40.5% in terms of value. This was so because sales took place earlier than usual in 2009. <\/p>\n
Despite the overall decline, exports to several countries increased. Two of them were the United Arab Emirates, which purchased 50% more, and Algeria, to which sales grew by 49%. India was the highlight, with an increase of 148.8%.<\/p>\n
