Brazilian fruit exports to increase in 2024

In 2024, Brazilian fruit exports increased and reinforced the country's position as an excellent producer of fresh fruit. According to the most recent data, Brazil exported more than 1 million tons of fruit, with revenues exceeding US$ 1,287 billion. This represents an increase of more than 3% in value, although with a slight reduction of 0,85% in the total volume exported, compared to 2023.

Among the main destinations for Brazilian fruit, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Spain and the United States stand out, which together continue to be the largest importers, reinforcing the importance of these markets for national fruit production.

Mangoes top the ranking of fruits that stood out, with an export volume of more than 258 thousand tons and revenue of more than US$ 348 million, representing an increase of 12,14% in value compared to the previous year. Melons, which are also among the main exported fruits, showed growth, reflecting the increase in global demand for Brazilian tropical products.

On the other hand, grapes, which historically occupy a prominent position, showed a slight drop in export volume and value. This reduction was attributed to adverse weather conditions faced in some producing regions, in addition to logistical challenges that impacted the flow of production.

Challenges and perspectives for 2025

The sector seeks to maintain its growth rate, increasingly strengthening Brazil's presence in strategic markets. The recent opening of new markets, such as grape exports to China and avocados to Chile, demonstrate the potential for expansion, but also require constant advances in quality, logistics and bilateral negotiations.

Participation in international fairs, such as Fruit Logistica, which will be held in February, is seen as a key point for fostering negotiations and expanding commercial partnerships throughout the year.
