Mexico’s inflation package extension drives Brazilian pork exports in 2025 | Food Business Africa

MEXICO – The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) has announced that the extension of Mexico’s Package Against Inflation and Scarcity (PACIC) is expected to maintain steady levels of Brazilian pork exports to Mexico in 2025. 

The PACIC initiative, aimed at controlling food prices and ensuring availability, will continue to permit duty-free imports of key food products, including pork.

ABPA President Ricardo Santin highlighted the significance of the renewed agreement, stating that it strengthens trade relations between Brazil and Mexico while ensuring that Brazilian pork remains available to Mexican consumers without additional import costs.

Brazil’s pork exports showed significant growth in 2024, with shipments projected to reach 1.35 million tonnes, representing a 9.8% increase compared to the previous year. 

For 2025, exports are expected to grow further, reaching approximately 1.45 million tonnes, marking a 7.4% rise.

According to ABPA, Mexico has played a critical role in supporting Brazil’s pork industry as one of its key export destinations. 

The continued allowance of tariff-free pork imports under PACIC is likely to sustain this upward trend, contributing to the stability of the Brazilian pork sector.

The association also reaffirmed its commitment to meeting international trade standards and ensuring the quality of Brazilian pork exports. 

ABPA plans to maintain close communication with global trade partners and monitor market developments to support the industry’s growth.

The renewal of PACIC aligns with Mexico’s strategy to address inflationary pressures and ensure stable food supplies. 

This policy has created favorable conditions for Brazil’s pork exports, positioning the South American country to further expand its presence in Mexico’s market.

In 2024, the average global price of pork stood at US$2,200 per tonne, translating Brazil’s projected export volumes into an estimated revenue of US$2.97 billion. 

If the forecasted 2025 figures materialize, export revenues could reach US$3.19 billion.

ABPA plans to continue leveraging these trade opportunities while monitoring global and regional dynamics affecting the pork market.
