Italian exports to Mercosur grow by 21.1%

South America confirms itself as an increasingly interesting market for Made in Italy products .

In May 2026, Italian exports to the four Mercosur countries — Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay — reached 745 million euros , marking a growth of 21.1% compared to May 2025.

The most significant data comes from Brazil , which alone recorded 582 million euros of Italian exports, an increase of 22.3%.

But Uruguay and Paraguay are surprising in terms of growth: +72.2% and +95.6% respectively . Argentina , on the other hand, recorded a more modest growth of 0.6% .

Numbers that tell the story of an evolving market and that open up new perspectives for Italian companies, including in the Food & Beverage and Wine sectors .

For Italian wine, Mercosur could represent a great opportunity: not only to increase exports, but above all to build new relationships with local importers, buyers, and distributors.

And it is precisely knowledge of the market that makes the difference.
