Extracts and juices of meat, fish and aquatic invertebrates market in Brazil

Earlier Report Observations

The domestic market for extracts and juices of meat, fish and aquatic invertebrates in Brazil expanded sharply from 99 tons in 2018 to 1 768 tons in 2023. This surge was primarily driven by a steep decline in exports, which fell from 1 867 tons to 594 tons, freeing significantly more production for local consumption, alongside a steady rise in domestic output from 1 966 tons to 2 299 tons.

Regulatory measures established in 2018, including CONAMA Resolution 489/2018 for aquatic invertebrate farming and legislation equating aquaculture with agriculture, provided a structured foundation for production growth. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 shifted consumer behavior towards prepared and semi-prepared seafood products, boosting domestic demand for convenient formats. Furthermore, the entry of major protein companies like JBS into the aquaculture sector in 2022, supported by advertising campaigns and expanded distribution, actively stimulated local consumption of derived products.

Concurrent updates to food safety and labeling standards, such as Anvisa's 2019 regulations on additive controls and mandatory allergen labeling implemented in 2021, reinforced product quality and market integrity, supporting overall market development.
