FAQs
Where does Brazil import eggs?
Brazil primarily imports eggs from countries with strong egg production and export capabilities, such as:
- United States
- Argentina
- European nations
However, Brazil is largely self-sufficient in egg production, with a strong domestic poultry industry that meets most of its demand.
When Brazil does import eggs, it is typically for specific needs such as processed egg products (liquid or powdered eggs) for the food manufacturing sector. Trade agreements, health regulations, and market conditions all influence its import sources.
These sources allow Brazil to maintain a steady supply of eggs to meet the needs of its population. To Learn more about working with international egg markets contact eusales@eggsunlimited.com.
What makes eggs in Brazil compliant?
For eggs and egg products to be imported into Brazil, they must meet strict sanitary, quality, and labeling regulations enforced by the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock, and Food Supply (MAPA). Compliance ensures food safety, disease prevention, and adherence to Brazilian market standards.
1. Sanitary & Health Requirements
To be compliant, imported eggs must:
✅ Come from approved countries – Only countries with equivalent health standards and free from diseases like Avian Influenza are allowed to export.
✅ Be certified by official veterinary authorities – An International Sanitary Certificate (CIS) issued by the exporting country is mandatory.
✅ Meet hygiene and microbiological standards – The eggs must be free from Salmonella, antibiotics, pesticides, and contaminants beyond permitted levels.
✅ Processed eggs (liquid, frozen, or powdered) must undergo pasteurization and meet specific microbial safety limits.
2. Labeling & Traceability Rules
All imported eggs and egg products must be labeled in Portuguese with:
✔ Product description (e.g., shell eggs, liquid eggs, powdered eggs)
✔ Country of origin & producer details
✔ Expiration date & storage instructions
✔ Lot number for traceability
Brazil also requires full traceability, ensuring that all eggs can be tracked from farm to final distribution.
3. Registration & Import Licensing
Before exporting to Brazil, companies must:
🔹 Register with MAPA – The facility must be inspected and approved.
🔹 Obtain an import license (LI) via the Siscomex system – This is required before shipping any egg products.
🔹 Comply with local food standards set by ANVISA (Brazilian Health Regulatory Agency) for food safety and additives.
4. Tariffs & Trade Considerations
Brazil applies import duties and taxes on eggs, which vary based on the type of product:
📌 Shell eggs: Higher restrictions, as Brazil is largely self-sufficient.
📌 Processed eggs (powdered or liquid): More frequently imported, but subject to duties and sanitary approval.
Free trade agreements (e.g., Mercosur) can impact tariffs, making regional suppliers like Argentina more competitive.
Final Thoughts & Export Strategy
If looking to export eggs to Brazil, it’s essential to:
✔ Ensure compliance with MAPA’s sanitary and import regulations
✔ Work with a Brazilian importer who understands licensing and logistics
✔ Provide traceability and high-quality standards to compete in the market
By adhering to these standards, eggs from overseas gain access to Brazil’s market, ensuring safety and quality for consumers. Eggs Unlimited’s experience with compliance and supply-chain expertise positions it well to meet these requirements.

How much do eggs cost in Brazil?
The price of eggs in Brazil varies based on factors such as location, egg type, and market conditions.
Factors Influencing Egg Prices in Brazil:
1. Feed Costs (Corn & Soybean Prices) 🌽🌱
- Feed accounts for 60-70% of egg production costs, and Brazil is a major producer of corn and soybeans, the primary feed ingredients.
- Droughts, export demand (especially from China), or currency fluctuations can drive up feed prices, increasing egg costs.
2. Supply & Production Levels 🏭🐓
- Seasonal production cycles affect supply—hot summers can lower egg-laying rates, while optimal weather boosts production.
- Disease outbreaks (e.g., Avian Influenza concerns) can lead to culling and reduced supply.
- Rising production costs (labor, energy, transportation) also push prices higher.
3. Consumer Demand & Market Trends 🛒📊
- Per capita egg consumption in Brazil is rising, driven by health-conscious consumers and price-sensitive protein choices.
- Holiday seasons (Easter, Christmas, Carnival) create spikes in demand, lifting prices.
- Foodservice & industrial demand for egg products (liquid/powdered) influences bulk pricing.
4. Inflation & Economic Conditions 💰📉
- Brazil’s inflation rate affects consumer purchasing power. High inflation may reduce demand for premium or specialty eggs.
- The strength of the Brazilian real (BRL) vs. USD impacts import costs for egg-related inputs (equipment, feed, vaccines).
Prices can change over time, and regional variations can be significant. To get the most accurate and up-to-date pricing for eggs in Brazil, we recommend contacting wholesale suppliers and egg distributors for bulk purchasing options.
