Brazil to Allocate Beef Export Volumes by Company
Brazil Plans Company Level Beef Export Caps for China
Brazil is preparing to introduce individual export quotas for beef shipments to China, as authorities seek to manage trade flows under evolving tariff conditions.
According to reporting by IndexBox, the proposed system would allocate minimum annual export volumes of around 8,000 metric tonnes per approved company. The measure is designed to regulate shipment levels and prevent excessive volumes that could trigger higher tariff exposure.
The move follows adjustments to Chinese import tariff structures, which have created renewed sensitivity around quota thresholds. By distributing export allowances across processors, the Brazilian government aims to smooth supply throughout the year and reduce the risk of market disruption.
China remains Brazil’s largest beef customer, accounting for a substantial share of total exports. Managing access to this market has become increasingly strategic as both countries navigate quota-linked trade arrangements.
