Brazilian Beef Exports To The U.S. Surge

According to The Rio Times, Brazilian beef exports to the United States surged 524% in September 2026, reaching $263.5 million compared to $42.2 million a year earlier. Brazil shipped 44,435 metric tons of fresh, chilled and frozen beef to the U.S., up from 7,852 metric tons in September 2025, making the United States the largest buyer of Brazilian beef for the month.

The increase followed President Donald Trump's August 26 proclamation expanding the 2026 U.S. import quota for lean beef trimmings by 300,000 metric tons, with 100,000 metric tons becoming available each month beginning September 1. The additional quota allows countries including Brazil and Paraguay to ship qualifying beef into the U.S. at substantially reduced tariffs, as the administration seeks to lower ground beef prices amid tight domestic cattle supplies.

Through the first nine months of 2026, Brazilian beef exports to the U.S. totaled $1.72 billion, up 82.9% from the same period last year, while shipment volumes climbed from approximately 183,000 to 285,000 metric tons.
