Brazil stood out as the main driving force behind this growth, contributing an increase of 25.5% in exports to that market. This significant performance positions the South American country as one of the main trading partners for the food and beverage sector.
Angola emerged as the second market with the highest contribution to export growth, having recorded an increase of 22.1%. The Angolan market has demonstrated growing demand for food and beverage products from this industry.
The 2026 data confirms the strategic importance of African and South American markets for the sector, which has found expansion opportunities in these destinations that offset the lower dynamics observed in European markets.
