EGGS/CEPEA: Weaker International Demand Curbs Shipments
Brazilian egg exports continue to contract, primarily due to reduced demand from key international partners, according to CEPEA researchers. In March, Brazil shipped 1.87 thousand tons of eggs (in-natura and processed), marking the lowest volume since December 2024. This represents a 36% decrease from February and is half the volume recorded in March of the previous year.

**EGGS/CEPEA: Weaker International Demand Curbs Shipments**
CEPEA, April 10, 2026 – Brazilian egg exports have been experiencing a continuous contraction, primarily attributed to a decrease in demand from the protein's main international trading partners. In March, the volume of egg shipments reached its lowest point since December 2024.
According to data from Brazil's Secretariat of Foreign Trade (Secex), compiled and analyzed by CEPEA researchers, Brazil exported 1.87 thousand tons of in-natura and processed eggs in March. This volume represents a 36% reduction compared to the shipments made in February and is equivalent to half the amount recorded during the same period last year (3.77 thousand tons).
Despite the significant drop in volume, the revenue generated from foreign sales experienced a less intense decline. Last month, total earnings from egg exports amounted to US$ 4.53 million, a 27% decrease from February, but still 48% below the figure obtained in the previous year. This suggests that while volume decreased, average prices might have held up better, or there was a shift towards higher-value products.
