ABPA celebrates the resumption of pre-listing for poultry meat exports to the EU
The pre-listing model had been suspended in 2018. In this context, according to ABPA president Ricardo Santin, its resumption represents recognition of the confidence and robustness of the Brazilian health inspection and control system.
"With this measure, Brazil regains the autonomy to designate and authorize exporting establishments that fully comply with European requirements, streamlining processes and increasing predictability in relations with the European Union", he emphasizes.
Currently, approximately 30 Brazilian meatpacking plants are authorized to export chicken meat to the European bloc. With the return of pre-listing, this number is expected to gradually increase in the coming months, allowing new agribusinesses and cooperatives to access a high-value-added market.
Historically, the European Union has been one of the main destinations for Brazilian chicken exports. Before the suspension of pre-listing, Brazil shipped more than 500,000 tons annually to the bloc. In 2024, 231,900 tons were exported. Between January and September 2025, the cumulative volume was 137,200 tons. It was also one of the largest destinations for Brazilian turkey meat, with over 50,000 tons imported annually before the suspension. The market also imports duck meat from Brazil.
"The resumption of pre-listing is a significant step forward and a clear sign of the European Union's confidence in the Brazilian health control system. The work led by Minister Carlos Fávaro, Secretary of Trade and International Relations Luís Rua, and Secretary of Agricultural Defense Carlos Goulart, along with their teams, has further strengthened Brazil's international credibility and promoted concrete progress in expanding access to strategic markets", Santin emphasizes.
