The Global Love for Brazilian Beef
Brazilian Meat Export. At Brazil Meat Farm, we’re proud to contribute to Brazil’s legacy as the world’s largest beef exporter, shipping over 3 million tons of premium beef to 150+ countries in 2023. USDA projections estimate Brazil’s exports will reach 2.9 million tons by 2028, holding a 23% share of global beef trade. From China to the Middle East, our beef is celebrated for its rich flavor, superior quality, and sustainable production. But what makes Brazilian beef—and specifically ours—so irresistible worldwide? Let’s explore the reasons behind this global obsession.
Unmatched Quality of Brazilian Beef
Brazilian beef is renowned for its exceptional taste and tenderness, thanks to a combination of natural resources, advanced genetics, and expert ranching. At Brazil Meat Farm, our cattle graze on nutrient-rich pastures in the Brazilian Cerrado, producing lean, flavorful beef. Our signature cut, picanha, is a global favorite, prized for its juicy texture and fat cap that enhances flavor during grilling. Other cuts like alcatra and contrafilé shine in diverse cuisines, from churrasco to stir-fries.
We use selective breeding and modern ranching techniques to ensure consistent quality. The Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) supports farmers with tools like apps for reproductive health, optimizing our herd’s performance. This dedication to quality has earned Brazil Meat Farm a reputation for delivering premium beef that meets international standards, from the U.S. to the EU.[](https://brazilianfarmers.com/category/discover/beef/)
Sustainable Practices That Set Us Apart
Sustainability is at the heart of our operations. Brazil’s beef industry is among the most sustainable globally, with 213.6 million heads of cattle raised on vast pastures, reducing the need for deforestation. At Brazil Meat Farm, we implement rotational grazing and pasture recovery, increasing productivity by 134% per hectare while cutting emissions by 45%, as noted in a World Economic Forum report. Our practices align with Brazil’s Forest Code and the EU Deforestation Regulation, ensuring compliance with global environmental standards.[](https://www.weforum.org/stories/2024/08/how-brazil-can-chart-a-path-to-sustainable-cattle-production/)
We also prioritize animal welfare, providing stress-free grazing environments and humane processing, which enhances meat quality and meets ethical consumer demands. By integrating digital traceability systems, we track our beef from pasture to plate, offering transparency to buyers in markets like China and the UAE. These efforts make our beef a trusted choice for eco-conscious consumers worldwide.
Why Global Markets Choose Our Beef
Brazil’s beef exports thrive due to diverse markets and competitive pricing. In 2022, China imported $8 billion worth of Brazilian beef, driven by rising incomes and urbanization, while the U.S. and EU followed with $900 million and $661 million, respectively. Statista highlights Brazil’s dominance, with 27% of its total exports going to China. Our farm caters to these markets with tailored cuts—halal-certified beef for the Middle East, premium picanha for the U.S., and versatile cuts for Asia.[](https://www.statista.com/chart/31839/exports-of-beef-and-veal-from-brazil-in-2022-by-destination/)[](https://www.statista.com/statistics/617492/beef-and-veal-export-value-brazil-by-country-of-destination/)
Brazil’s ability to produce halal meat positions us as the largest supplier to Muslim-majority countries like Egypt and Iran. We’re also expanding into new markets like Indonesia and Singapore, with negotiations underway to meet their sanitary standards. At Brazil Meat Farm, our export-grade beef is vacuum-sealed and shipped with certifications like SISBOV, ensuring compliance with international regulations.[](https://www.tendata.com/blogs/export/5493.html)

Overcoming Challenges for a Sustainable Future
While Brazil’s beef industry faces scrutiny for deforestation, only 10% of producers account for 60% of cattle-related deforestation, per a Bain & Company study. At Brazil Meat Farm, we’re part of the solution, using intensified ranching to produce more beef on less land—our stocking rate has improved from 1 to 3 animal units per hectare. We also support initiatives like the Pará Cattle Integrity Programme for jurisdictional traceability, ensuring our beef is deforestation-free.[](https://www.bain.com/insights/brazils-path-to-sustainable-cattle-farming/)
Recent moves to achieve Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD)-free status without vaccination, with expected World Organization for Animal Health approval by May 2025, will open high-value markets like Japan and South Korea. These advancements solidify Brazil’s—and our farm’s—position as a global leader.[](https://www.alberta.ca/agri-news-developments-in-the-brazilian-beef-industry)
