| The following GAIN reports were released on January 6, 2026. _______ This report outlines updated plant and label registration guidance for U.S. animal food and feed product exporters to Brazil. The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service Office of Agricultural Affairs (OAA) Brasília will provide assistance for U.S. plant registration in Brazil; however, U.S. animal food and feed products exporters are responsible for product label registration in Brazil. Please note that products cannot be shipped until confirmation of both plant and label registration is received from the Government of Brazil. The Brazilian orange crop for Marketing Year (MY) 2025/26 is forecast at 330 million 90-pound boxes (MBx) - standard reference, equivalent to 13.5 million metric tons (MMT), an increase of 3.7 percent compared to previous Post estimate (320 million boxes or 13 MMT), primarily due to satisfactory weather conditions expected in 2026. Post forecasts the Brazilian FCOJ 65 Brix equivalent production in MY 2025/26 at 1.03 MMT, an increase of 1.86 percent from Post's revised estimate for MY 2024/25 (1.01 MMT). The EU is the world's largest producer of olive oil, accounting for well over half of global supply. In MY 2025/26, Post projects a continued recovery of the EU olive oil sector from recent droughts, with production stabilizing, consumption rebounding, and trade flows adapting to both internal and external market dynamics. The MY 2025/26 olive oil production in the EU is expected to stay marginally below previous season levels, as long-awaited fall precipitation only arrived in the second half of November, leaving little room for initial production forecasts to expand. The larger availability of olive oil in MY 2024/25 allowed for larger sales within the EU, and for a recovery in exported volumes, with relatively smaller import needs. Malaysia's palm oil production for MY 2025/26 is revised higher on improved harvested area productivity, stronger early-year output, and more consistent harvesting conditions. Palm kernel, palm kernel meal, and palm kernel oil estimates are revised upward in line with increased productivity and crushing activity, with domestic feed and oleochemical demand expected to absorb the increased share of available supply. Palm oil exports are expected to remain competitive in key Asian and Middle Eastern markets, while biofuel policy developments in Indonesia may tighten regional exportable supplies and support Malaysia's export position. Soybean, soybean meal, and soybean oil estimates reflect modest gains in crushing, feed demand, and consumption, supported by competitive pricing, steady import availability, and stable use in food and feed sectors. In market year (MY) 2025/26, total citrus production in Mexico is expected to decrease slightly by 0.4 percent from the previous year, driven primarily by a decrease in orange production. MY 2024/25 fresh orange production is estimated down on heavy rains caused by tropical storms Raymond and Priscilla that hit main producing regions in October 2025 postponing harvesting in some areas until early MY 2025/26. Environmental factors, such as prolonged drought, extreme heat, and erratic rainfall, are expected to hamper production. Orange juice production is subsequently also projected down slightly on lower available orange supplies and inconsistent fruit quality. Exports of fresh citrus fruit are projected to maintain a relatively moderate upward trend for fresh lemons/limes and a marginal decrease for fresh oranges.
