SAI AGRO BRAZIL is a Brazilian exporter of red wheat bran, supplying compound feed manufacturers, commercial bakeries, breakfast cereal producers, and health food companies worldwide. Our red wheat bran is a milling byproduct from hard red wheat flour production with high dietary fiber content (15-18%) and protein levels (14-17%). Available in both feed grade and food grade options with coarse flake or fine powder particle sizes. Brazil produces 1.5-2 million metric tons of wheat bran annually (ABIMILL). Shipment terms include FOB, CFR, and CIF from Santos, Paranagua, and Rio Grande ports with MOQ starting at one 20-foot container (20-27 MT). All shipments include MAPA phytosanitary certification and certificate of origin.
Red wheat bran is the outer layer of the wheat kernel, separated during the flour milling process from hard red wheat varieties. The milling process involves cleaning wheat kernels, tempering to adjust moisture content, grinding through roller mills to separate bran from endosperm, and sieving to isolate bran particles. Red wheat bran retains the bran layer (aleurone layer, pericarp, and seed coat) which is rich in dietary fiber (15-18%), protein (14-17%), B vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Unlike whole wheat flour (which includes bran, germ, and endosperm), wheat bran is the isolated bran component with concentrated fiber and protein content.
Brazil produces approximately 1.5-2 million metric tons of wheat bran annually (2025 estimate, ABIMILL), with production concentrated in Parana (40% of national capacity), Rio Grande do Sul (30%), and Santa Catarina (20%). Brazilian wheat bran is produced from hard red wheat varieties at modern milling facilities operating under strict quality control protocols. SAI AGRO BRAZIL supplies red wheat bran from established Brazilian wheat mills processing hard red wheat varieties, with every shipment including phytosanitary certification and certificate of origin.
Feed grade wheat bran and food grade wheat bran differ in three key areas. First, quality standards: food grade wheat bran must meet strict specifications for moisture (12% maximum), foreign matter (1% maximum), microbial load (total plate count below 100,000 CFU/g), and pesticide residue levels (compliant with food safety regulations), while feed grade wheat bran has more relaxed specifications suitable for animal feed applications. Second, processing and handling: food grade wheat bran is processed, handled, and stored under food-grade conditions with strict hygiene protocols, while feed grade wheat bran is processed under animal feed grade conditions. Third, pricing: food grade wheat bran commands a 20-30% price premium over feed grade wheat bran due to the additional processing, handling, and quality control requirements.
SAI AGRO BRAZIL supplies both feed grade and food grade red wheat bran, depending on buyer requirements. Feed grade red wheat bran is used by compound feed manufacturers for poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture feed formulations, providing high-fiber carbohydrate source with 14-17% protein content and 15-18% dietary fiber. Food grade red wheat bran is used by commercial bakeries for high-fiber bread, bran muffins, and whole grain baked goods; breakfast cereal manufacturers for bran flakes, high-fiber cereals, muesli blends, and granola products; health food processors for dietary fiber supplements, natural laxative products, and functional food ingredients; and food processing companies for snacks, bars, and processed food products using wheat bran as a functional fiber ingredient.
Brazilian red wheat bran offers three competitive advantages for international buyers. First, production volume and supply reliability: Brazil produces 10 million metric tons of wheat annually, generating 1.5-2 million metric tons of wheat bran as a milling byproduct. This massive production scale ensures reliable year-round supply and competitive pricing. Second, fiber and protein content: Brazilian red wheat bran typically delivers 15-18% dietary fiber and 14-17% protein content, comparable to U.S. wheat bran and higher than European origin. The hard red wheat varieties grown in southern Brazil produce bran with consistent quality characteristics valued by feed manufacturers and food processors.
Third, competitive pricing: Brazilian red wheat bran typically costs 15-25% less than equivalent wheat bran from the United States, Canada, or European Union, due to lower production costs and favorable exchange rates. Brazilian wheat benefits from the country’s tropical and subtropical climate, which allows for two harvest windows per year in some regions, providing more flexible supply timing compared to single-harvest origins. The country’s grain infrastructure includes modern milling facilities, certified storage silos, and direct port access through Santos, Paranagua, and Rio Grande terminals, ensuring efficient delivery from mill to vessel. Sourcing red wheat bran from Brazil gives buyers a competitive alternative to Black Sea and European origins, with consistent fiber content, reliable container availability, and year-round supply.

Test methods follow ICC (International Association for Cereal Science and Technology) official methods. Independent inspection agencies (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Cotecna) verify all parameters at the port of loading before shipment. Sieve analysis confirms particle size distribution for each grade (coarse flakes or fine powder).
Every shipment of Brazilian red wheat bran includes comprehensive documentation. The phytosanitary certificate, issued by MAPA (Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture), confirms the product meets plant health requirements of the destination country and is free from quarantine pests. The certificate of origin, issued by the Brazilian Chamber of Commerce, establishes the Brazilian source for customs clearance and trade agreement benefits. The quality and weight certificate, issued by independent inspection agencies (SGS, Bureau Veritas, Cotecna), provides third-party verification of shipment specifications including fiber content, protein content, moisture levels, particle size distribution, and foreign matter.
Additional documentation available upon request: fumigation certificate (for destinations requiring pre-shipment treatment), analysis certificate (detailed laboratory report covering proximate composition, mycotoxin screening, pesticide residue analysis), sieve analysis certificate (confirming particle size distribution), and veterinary health certificate (for destinations requiring animal feed safety documentation). All documentation complies with international trade regulations for agricultural commodities and food ingredients.
Brazilian red wheat bran serves five primary applications. Animal feed uses red wheat bran for poultry, swine, cattle, and aquaculture feed formulations requiring high-fiber carbohydrate sources. The high fiber content (15-18%) supports digestive health in livestock, while the protein content (14-17%) contributes to balanced nutrition. Commercial bakery uses red wheat bran for high-fiber bread, bran muffins, whole grain baked goods, and specialty health-oriented products. The bran adds fiber, texture, and nutritional value to baked goods while appealing to health-conscious consumers.
Breakfast cereals use red wheat bran for bran flakes, high-fiber cereals, muesli blends, and granola products. The coarse flake format provides texture and visual appeal for cereal products. Health foods use red wheat bran for dietary fiber supplements, natural laxative products, and functional food ingredients. The high fiber content supports digestive health and is marketed to consumers seeking natural fiber sources. Food processing uses red wheat bran for snacks, bars, and processed food products using wheat bran as a functional fiber ingredient. Each application requires specific fiber content, protein content, and particle size, which Brazilian red wheat bran consistently meets.
