Brazilian beef exports to rise in 2010
Brazilian beef exports are forecast to increase 6% to 1.7 million tonnes cwt in the 2010 calendar year, according to reports.
The rise in exports will be backed by a 2% rise in total beef production to 7.778 million tonnes cwt and a lower 1% rise in domestic beef consumption to 6.104 million tonnes cwt.
The herd is expected to continue to recover since 2007's low, and increase 2% in 2010 to 176.6 million head.
