From the perspective of the Halal market, the figures reveal a strategic fact: the centrality of animal protein and food commodities in trade relations with Muslim-majority countries.

Products such as chicken, sugar, and grains are directly associated with a priority agenda for the Arab and Islamic world — food security.

In this context, Brazil consolidates its position not only as a relevant trading partner, but also as a reliable supplier, capable of meeting the technical and religious requirements that structure halal trade. Certification, quality control, and alignment with international standards become important competitive advantages.

When the focus is on all Islamic countries, the prominence widens. Turkey leads as the main destination for Brazilian exports, with US$ 4.14 billion (1.19% of total Brazilian exports), closely followed by Indonesia, with US$ 4.13 billion (1.18%).

Next in line are the United Arab Emirates, with US$3.88 billion (1.08%), Egypt, with US$3.73 billion (1.07%), and Malaysia, with US$3.54 billion (1.02%).

The export agenda for these markets is also concentrated in strategic commodities: cane or beet sugar (US$ 8.68 billion), corn (US$ 5.60 billion), iron ore (US$ 4.39 billion), chicken meat (US$ 3.78 billion) and soybeans (US$ 2.86 billion).

The data reinforces the importance of Islamic countries in Brazil's international integration strategy. The predominance of food and agricultural commodities highlights Brazil's central role as a global supplier of food security to Muslim-majority markets.

In this scenario, the alignment between productive capacity, halal certification, and commercial diplomacy emerges as a strategic vector for expanding opportunities, diversifying markets, and strengthening Brazil's presence in the international economy.
