Imports

Brazil – Olive oil imports

Brazil’s olive oil imports reached 80,768 tonnes in the 2024/2025 crop year [1], representing a 0.5% decrease compared with the previous crop year. However, during the first six months of the 2025/2026 crop year (October 2025 to March 2026), imports increased by 40.5% compared with the same period of the previous crop year.

Figure 1. Average olive oil production (2019/2020–2023/2024 crop years) and Brazilian olive oil imports.

Brazil is a predominantly importing market and, with an estimated consumption of 0.4 kg per capita per crop year, accounts on average for around 9% of world olive oil imports and 3.1% of global olive oil consumption.

Although imports declined slightly during the 2024/2025 crop year, the Brazilian market continues to show a strong long-term growth trend. After reaching a low of 50,000 tonnes in the 2015/2016 crop year—31.0% lower than in 2013/2014, mainly as a result of the economic crisis and the depreciation of the Brazilian currency—imports gradually recovered to reach almost 81,000 tonnes in the 2024/2025 crop year.

Portugal remained Brazil’s leading supplier, accounting for 62% of total imports. During the 2024/2025 crop year, imports from Portugal increased by 20.3% compared with the previous crop year.
