Brazilian grape exports have continued to advance at the start of the first export window of 2026. According to Comex Stat data, 1,250 tonnes were shipped in April, up 115% from March — an expected jump given the intensification of shipments. However, the result was 9% lower than in the same period of 2025, marking the second-lowest volume shipped for April since 2020, ahead only of 2024, when production was affected by adverse weather. In revenue terms, shipments fell 13% from the same period in 2025, totaling US$3.33 million FOB. Average prices paid per kilogram of fruit, however, remain at remunerative levels.
The main destinations for Brazilian grapes in the period were the Netherlands, which accounted for 33% of total shipments, followed by the United Kingdom at 25%, Argentina at 14% and the United States at 13%. Argentina stood out, posting strong growth compared with April 2025, with 180,000 kg received — the highest volume recorded for the period since the start of the historical series.
The following analysis compares Brazilian grape export performance during the first quarter (Q1) over the last three years. This year-over-year comparison is made possible by Datamar intelligence, available through the DataLiner platform.
