The import of frozen, dried, salted, or in brine mussels to Brazil has been on a steady decline, falling from $45.04 thousand in 2018 to $6.07 thousand in 2022. Between 2021 and 2022, there was a sharp decrease of approximately 60.8%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five years is negative, reinforcing the continual downward trend.
Forecasts for 2024 predict a continuation of this decline, influenced by potential factors such as changing consumer preferences, economic conditions, or shifts in local aquaculture production. Key trends to monitor include advancements in local mussel farming and any trade policy adjustments that could impact import levels.
