Brazil beef exports could drop 10% in 2026 due to a 55% tariff on shipments exceeding quota levels. ABIEC president Roberto Perosa announced the forecast on Tuesday afternoon following new trade restrictions from China. The move threatens the primary revenue stream for Brazilian meatpackers as their largest export market pivots toward domestic protectionism.
