In addition to U.S. tariffs, Brazil faces significant tariff barriers from other trade partners, such as China, which will impose a 55% tariff on Brazilian meat. This information was disclosed by Globo.
Brazil's foreign trade experienced a historic semester, with beef sales reaching nearly $10 billion, marking a 33% increase compared to the same period the previous year. However, forecasts for the second semester indicate a less favorable outlook for exports.
