In 2024, Brazil's trade with France registered a significant deficit, with imports substantially outweighing exports. Total exports reached US$ 2.96 billion, while imports from France amounted to US$ 6.19 billion, resulting in a trade balance of US$ -3.23 billion. This imbalance highlights a strong demand for French goods within the Brazilian market.
The composition of trade reveals a clear specialization. Brazil's primary exports to France are concentrated in agricultural and primary products, notably soybean oilcake (US$ 661.6 million) and crude oil (US$ 532.9 million). Conversely, Brazil's imports from France are dominated by high-value manufactured goods, particularly turbo-jets and turbines (US$ 1.06 billion) and aircraft (US$ 261.1 million).
