Frequently asked questions

How large is the Brazil–India trade balance in January–July 2026?

Brazil holds a US$ 1.66 billion surplus: US$ 5.89 billion exported against US$ 4.23 billion imported. The relationship runs in Brazil's favour, and the gap equals roughly 16% of total bilateral trade in the period.

What does Brazil export most to India?

Crude petroleum oils lead at US$ 2.12 billion, followed by soybean oil (US$ 1.22 billion) and copper ores (US$ 531.0 million). Petroleum and soybean oil together reach US$ 3.34 billion, about 57% of the basket — a concentration that ties exports to international energy and oilseed prices.
