Fish farming exports increase 3% in the second quarter of the year
(BRAZIL, 8/2/2023)
Brazilian exports of fish farming products increased their revenues by 3% in the second quarter of 2023, with US$ 6 million traded. Although small, the increase may indicate a reaction to the slight drop seen in tilapia prices on the domestic market in recent months. According to Embrapa and PeixBR (Brazilian Fish Farming Association), this was not enough to surpass the volumes of 2022. In the accumulated from January to June, exports dropped 16% compared to the same period last year.
