  • Minerva's November 9, 2026, report showed third-quarter Brazilian fresh beef exports fell 28% annually to 619,000 metric tons.
  • Shipments dropped 22% from the previous quarter as Brazil exhausted its Chinese import quota, prompting meatpackers to reduce production.
  • Brazilian cattle slaughter declined 19% annually to approximately 6,600,000 head, reflecting production adjustments amid tighter livestock availability.
  • Average Brazilian beef export prices rose 12% annually to USD 6.3/kg, cushioning the revenue impact of lower shipments.
  • Argentina's beef export revenue increased 28% annually to USD 1.5 billion, supported by higher average export prices.
