Pork gains ground as beef prices climb in Brazil
Pork’s competitiveness against beef in Brazil has reached its highest level since 2022 in real terms, according to Cepea. The price spread between beef and special pork carcass averaged 9.47 Reais/kg in 2025, coming in 36% higher than in 2024 and 12% above 2023, though still 25% below the 2022 gap of 12.64 Reais/kg.
Cepea says the advantage for pork is driven largely by higher beef prices. In the wholesale market of Greater São Paulo, beef averaged BRL 22.25/kg in early 2025, up 16.8% from a year earlier. Special pork carcass averaged BRL 12.78/kg, an increase of 5.5% from 2024.
