Exports of forest products and soy bean, bran and oil increased, on the other hand.<\/p>\n<p>In absolute value, exports were topped by meats, at US$ 1.27 billion, a figure similar to that of January 2013, according to the ministry. Beef export revenues increased, while those of pork and poultry dropped.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meats were followed by sugar and ethanol, forest products, grain, flours and their products, and soy bean, bran and oil.<\/p>\n<p>Agribusiness product imports remained nearly level with January last year, at US$ 1.463 billion.
