Compared to previous months, fresh meat exports suffered some slowdown in September. In August, for example, they increased by practically 15% compared to the same month of the previous year. Last month, the annual variation was just 1.66%.
The biggest contribution to this low performance comes from chicken meat which, once again, suffered a reduction in volume (by 4.5%) in relation to the same month in 2019. But beef also contributed to the slowdown, as, in the month , its shipments lost their previous pace, increasing by less than 3%. Thus, only pork remained at the same good pace, as its shipments in September increased by almost 36%.

In terms of price, none of the three meats were saved, as they all had an average price lower than in September 2019. But, again, the biggest losses (16.61% less) fell on chicken meat, with the price of beef falling almost 3% and that of pork remaining practically stable (drop of 0.26%).
With such performances, only pork saw an increase (of almost 35.5%) in foreign exchange revenue. Beef meat suffered a slight decline (of just 0.09%) and chicken meat fell by more than 20%. As a result, the foreign exchange revenue from the three meats, considering exclusively the fresh product, ended up registering a drop of more than 5%.
