"The impressive performance of exports in July helped to reestablish the export levels recorded in 2023, when we compare the first seven months of each year. The rapid lifting of embargoes from most markets, in an effort led by the Ministry of Agriculture, is indicative of positive volumes for the coming months, in a scenario of heated international demand",highlights Ricardo Santin, president of ABPA.
