Reference News Network, October 26 report. According to Brazil's 247 News, data from the Brazil-China Business Council shows that Brazil's exports to China increased by 15% in September 2025. At the same time, due to tariffs imposed by the Trump administration on Brazilian products, Brazil's exports to the United States fell by 20%. Among Brazil's top ten export destinations, the United States is the only market that showed a decline.
Data shows that from January to September 2025, Brazil's total exports to China reached 75.5 billion U.S. dollars, slightly declining compared to the same period in 2024. Despite this, China remains Brazil's largest export destination, accounting for 29.3%, almost three times the share of the United States (11.3%).
From January to September 2025, Brazil's trade surplus with China reached 22 billion U.S. dollars, while its trade with the United States recorded a deficit of 5.1 billion U.S. dollars, nearly four times that of the same period in 2024. The imposition of tariffs by Washington on Brazilian products is considered the main reason for this imbalance.
Additionally, from January to September this year, Brazil's imports from China increased by 15.4%, a growth rate higher than the overall import growth rate (8.2%) and the growth rate of imports from the United States (11.8%). China accounts for 25% of Brazil's imports, higher than the 16% of the United States.
From January to September this year, China accounted for half of Brazil's agricultural product exports, consolidating its position as the main destination for Brazil's agricultural product exports. Spain ranks second with a 4% share. In the mining sector, China also leads, accounting for about 50% of the industry's purchases, while the United States ranks second with a 7% share.
From January to September this year, Brazil's soybean sales to China increased by 2%. In the industrial products category, the strong growth of ferroalloy exports (mainly nickel-iron and niobium-iron) stood out, with exports increasing by 49%, making it the highest growth among the top ten products exported to China from Brazil.
During this period, manufacturing accounted for 99.6% of Brazil's imports from China. China seems to have already become Brazil's main supplier, accounting for 27%, followed by the United States (15.8%) and Germany (5.6%). (Translated by Wang Meng)
