The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) has announced that the renewal of Mexico’s Package Against Inflation and Scarcity (PACIC) is anticipated to sustain robust export levels of Brazilian pork to Mexico throughout 2025. This extension of PACIC, which aims to stabilize food prices and ensure supply, continues to allow tariff-free imports of essential food items, including pork.
Ricardo Santin, President of ABPA, emphasized the significance of this development: “The renewal of PACIC reinforces the strong trade relationship between Brazil and Mexico, ensuring that high-quality Brazilian pork remains accessible to Mexican consumers. We expect this to contribute positively to our export figures in the coming year.”
In 2024, Brazil’s pork exports experienced significant growth, with projections indicating a 9.8% increase, reaching 1.35 million tonnes. This upward trend is expected to continue into 2025, with anticipated exports of up to 1.45 million tonnes, marking a 7.4% rise.
The sustained demand from Mexico, bolstered by PACIC, plays a crucial role in these projections. As one of the key markets for Brazilian pork, Mexico’s continued importation under favorable terms is instrumental in supporting the growth and stability of Brazil’s pork industry.
ABPA remains committed to strengthening trade relations and ensuring the consistent quality of Brazilian pork exports to meet international standards and consumer expectations. The association will continue to monitor global market dynamics and work closely with trade partners to support the industry’s growth.
