Preços da carne na Colômbia sobem quase 100 por cento em seis anos

O preço médio do quilo do gado de corte atingiu 9.348 pesos em abril de 2026, quase o dobro dos 4.698 pesos registrados em abril de 2020.

De acordo com dados atualizados da Fedegán, o preço do gado subiu 8,4 por cento desde abril de 2025, quando estava em 8.622 pesos. O aumento acumulado de seis anos reflete o impacto de diversos fatores.

Durante e após a pandemia, os custos de insumos fundamentais como concentrados, fertilizantes, medicamentos veterinários e transporte aumentaram. Estes ficaram mais caros devido à crise logística global e à guerra entre a Rússia e a Ucrânia, iniciada em 2021.

Entre 2021 e 2023, a Colômbia enfrentou um de seus períodos de inflação mais altos das últimas décadas, elevando os custos de mão de obra, energia e logística em toda a cadeia da carne. O recente aumento do salário mínimo também influenciou os preços finais.

O governo nacional espera que uma possível suspensão das exportações reduza o preço da carne em 10 pontos. O setor pecuário alerta que a medida colocaria em risco um mercado de quase 350 milhões de dólares.
