The Brazilian market has seen a continued increase in the country’s imports, that is still ongoing in 2026. This month, we have monitored 346 thousand tons of caustic soda being imported to the Brazilian ports in bulk, a 16.5% increase over last year’s same month.

Notably, the rise of the imports have slowed its pace, as 2025 registered a 29.4% raise over 2024 while 2026’s YTD import volumes represent a milder 10.1% increment over 2025’s first 4 months, with the product finding its average at 300 thousand tons imported per month in the year so far.

After Brazil’s decline in caustic soda production last year and a hiatus this year in the previously regular imports from Venezuela, cargoes from the United States have expanded its dominant share to 94% of all the caustic soda imported to Brazil, with Argentina and Peru maintaining its minor share.

Brazilian soybean oil (SBO) exports reached significant volumes in the first four months of 2026. While 2025 showed a marginal increase of 1.09% over 2024 (926k vs. 916k tons), the year-to-date performance in 2026 reveals a 55.6% YoY growth.

By April 2026, cumulative volumes have already reached 50% of the total exported in the previous year. This acceleration is driven by two main factors:

India’s Domestic Supply Gap: A projected 16% decline in the Indian soybean crop—attributed by SOPA to excessive rainfall and disease—has forced the world’s leading importer to increase reliance on Brazilian SBO.

Market Diversification: Beyond the 55.6% increase in shipments to India, Brazil has successfully expanded its destinations to Egypt (14.2% share) and Mozambique (6.5%).

With April forecasts hovering at 136k tons (per latest port lineups), Brazil solidifies its role as a key provider in the global vegetable oil complex.

Following high volatility in the international oil market, diesel imports retreated significantly in March (0.76M m³). However, April shows a robust recovery, aligning with the forecasted 1.23M m³.

North Star data tracks 660k m³ already discharged, with an additional 570k m³ expected by month-end. This recovery is driven by the return of large-scale Petrobras operations—a 147k m³ vessel from Saudi Arabia—alongside consistent Russian spot volumes.

Operationally, port stay is currently pressured by regulatory uncertainty. Several vessels remain at anchorage as importers navigate new tax exemption frameworks and state-level (ICMS) fiscal adjustments.
