Beef exports are a key factor of the constantly growing Brazilian and Rio Grande do Sul state’s agribusiness. Even though the domestic market for beef is larger than the international markets, our levels of international beef trade enabled us to maintain a leading position in the market for over a decade. Analyzing these data helps us understand the flows and dynamic of the beef market.
The export data is taken from the SISCOMEX (Integrated System of Foreign Trade), where the actual exporters provide information about their operations, and accessed by the ALICE System (Analysis of Foreign Trade Information) of the Brazilian Ministry of Industry, Foreign Trade and Services (MDIC).
