Value of Brazilian Agricultural Shipments to the EU Under the Mercosur Pact
Official statistics released by Brazil's Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock demonstrate a significant expansion in agricultural exports to the European Union following the implementation of the bilateral trade framework. Over the initial five months of the provisional application of the EU-Mercosur agreement—spanning May through September 2026—the total value of Brazilian agricultural shipments to the bloc increased by 14.8% compared to the prior baseline.
During this five-month timeframe, the cumulative monetary value of these agricultural deliveries reached $12.21 billion. This recorded financial gain reflects the direct commercial flow between Brazil and the 27 European Union member states under the newly established provisional trade provisions.
Total Tonnage and Commodity Volumes Sent to EU Member States
Alongside the increase in monetary earnings, physical shipment volumes of agricultural goods from Brazil to the European Union registered steady gains. Data confirms that the volume of agricultural products dispatched to the 27 EU destination markets expanded by 8.1% between May and September 2026.
In total, Brazilian agricultural exporters delivered 17.74 million tonnes of produce and commodities to the European bloc during these first five months of the provisional EU-Mercosur agreement. The volume data highlights the scale of physical deliveries moving into European ports during the initial period of the trade accord's application.
Pronounced Increases in Meat Sector Exports
Within the broader agricultural trade balance, the meat segment experienced notable increases in both export volume and overall value. Shipments of Brazilian meat to the European Union registered a three-digit percentage surge in physical quantity alongside substantial value gains from May to September 2026.
Specifically, export volumes in the meat category escalated by 170% over the five-month span under the provisional framework. In terms of trade revenue, the monetary value of Brazilian meat deliveries to the EU rose by 103.5%, marking one of the most pronounced sectoral shifts documented in the trade data recorded under the agreement.
