Brazil beef exports to China up 38% as US trade row grows

Brazil's beef exports to China increased by 38.3 percent in September, reaching 187,340 tonnes. This surge occurred as China shifted its agricultural imports away from the United States amid a trade dispute. According to the industry group Abrafrigo, Brazil's overall beef exports for the month set a record at 373,867 tonnes, generating 1.92 billion dollars in revenue.

The strengthened economic partnership was reinforced by diplomatic support from Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi. He reportedly assured Brazilian officials of China's solidarity against U.S. trade measures, which he described as violations of international rules. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva affirmed Brazil's intention to defend its trade interests through global institutions while recognizing China as a reliable partner.

Concurrently, Brazil has expanded its export markets, with shipments to the European Union growing by 106 percent. Financial cooperation between the two nations has also deepened, with Chinese and Brazilian development banks reopening credit lines to support agribusiness and related infrastructure projects.
