Using official secondary data on the international trade of these products and market share calculations, it can be concluded that there was a great growth of all types of beef exported by Brazil in the period under analysis, but with a growing share of Asian and African countries in these purchases. The high concentration of these countries in the sales made by Brazil and also of Brazil in the purchases they make suggests the proposition of measures that involve these countries in the financing of our production chain, in order to avoid isruptions in the production chain of domestic cattle raising.
