Bitcoin price today: gains to $120k, near record high on U.S. regulatory cheer
Investing.com -- Brazilian egg exports jumped 305% to 5,259 metric tons in July, driven by strong U.S. demand following its bird flu outbreak, according to data released Monday by industry group ABPA.
The United States turned to Brazil as a key supplier after bird flu reduced domestic egg supplies, which had pushed up prices and contributed to inflation.
During the first seven months of 2025, the U.S. emerged as the primary destination for Brazilian eggs, with shipments reaching 18,976 tons - a 1,419% increase from the same period last year. These exports generated nearly $41 million in sales, ABPA reported.
However, this trade relationship faces a new challenge after President Donald Trump imposed a 50% tariff on Brazilian goods, including eggs, on Tuesday.
ABPA indicated it cannot yet predict how these tariffs will affect the egg trade between the two countries.
"There exists the possibility of maintenance of the (trade) flow, as North American demand remains high in the face of the shortage of the product," Ricardo Santin, head of ABPA, said in a statement.
Beyond the United States, other significant buyers of Brazilian eggs included Chile, Japan, and Mexico, according to the industry data.
