Brazilian pork exports hit 10 months' low

Brazil's pork exports dropped in November with the lowest volume recorded in 10 months.

The decline was connected to the lack of containers and, above all, to the reduction of shipments to the two main destinations (China and Hong Kong) for the national pork industry.

According to Secex data compiled by Cepea researchers, in November, Brazil exported 78 thousand tonnes of pork, a volume 20.1% less than in October and the lowest since January 21.

Specifically, 21,900 tonnes were shipped to China, a decrease of 41.3% compared to October's volume, and 9,700 tonnes were shipped to Hong Kong, a decrease of 26.5%.
