Brazil's beef exports to China jump 38% in September amid US tariffs

SAO PAULO (Reuters) -Brazil's beef exports to China rose 38.3% in September from a year earlier, reaching 187,340 tonnes, industry group Abrafrigo said on Wednesday, helping push total monthly exports to a record high. China is the largest market for Brazilian beef, and has increased purchases as part of its broader strategy to avoid agricultural goods from the United States amid an ongoing trade dispute. Global demand for beef has helped Brazil offset the impact of U.S. tariffs on its exports, Abrafrigo said.
