According to the Brazil Association of Animal Protein Exporters (ABPA), during November the nation exported 1,900 metric tons of eggs representing 2.88 million dozen attaining a total value of $5.3million, with a unit value $1.85 per dozen. The quantity exported represented the output of a theoretical flock of 1.4 million hens at a constant 80 percent hen-day output. A total of 54 percent of November export volume was destined for Japan, (757 metric tons, up 270 percent YOY) and to Mexico (285 metric tons, up 51 percent YOY).
For the period January through November, 2025, Brazil exported 38,600 metric tons or 58.5 million dozen at an average unit price of $1.57 per dozen. Volume was up 135 percent over the corresponding 11-month period in 2024, and value was higher by 164 percent to $92.1 million. The 11-month export total corresponded to the output of a theoretical flock of 2.6 million hens.
In 2024, Brazil produced 57 billion eggs or 4.8 billion dozen. This would correspond to a producing flock of 200 million hens.
In 2026 Brazil anticipates exporting 45,000 metric tons of shell eggs. Projections are for a 6.9 percent increase in domestic per capita consumption from 287 to 307 eggs, probably attributable the high cost of alternative animal protein. If valid the American Egg Board would be advised to determine how producers in Brazil managed to achieve a 6.9 percent increase in consumption over two consecutive years.
A second observation is that this report deals with exports from Brazil during November 2025. The latest figures available from the USDA on December 15th reflect August data. Other reports have been delayed due to the October federal shutdown and the subsequent difficulty in resuming regular releases of anticipated USDA statistics.
