US-BRAZIL TRADE 2005-2012
According to US foreign trade statistics, published by the US Census Bureau, Brazil maintained its rank of 8th
place among US top trade partners for the year 2012 with 2 percent of total trade, a value of US$75.8 billion.
Exports totaled US$43.7 billion; imports totaled US$32.1 billion.
Brazil’s total trade with the USA grew steadily over the period 2005 to 2008 from US$39.9 billion to US$62.7
billion, representing an increase of 58 percent. Due to the 2009 global economic crisis, this growth was
interrupted, as seen in the diagram below.
Trade between the USA and Brazil recovered and expanded during 2010-2011, surpassing levels in 2008. Two
percent increases in 2012 over 2011 for both imports and exports indicate a slow in the pace of growth.
