ABPA projects a production of 15.1 million tons of chicken meat in 2024
Annual protein consumption this year should remain at the same levels as last year, around 45 kg per capita/year, with the possibility of increasing to 46 kg per capita/year in the following year (+2% compared to 2024 ).
In turn, chicken meat exports are expected to grow by up to 2.2% this year, with estimates of selling 5.25 million tons abroad in 2024, with expectations of reaching 5.35 million tons in 2025 (+ 1.9% compared to 2024).
"In relation to the projections released at the end of last year, we are estimating a slight reduction. Even so, the projected volumes of chicken meat production and exports are expected to once again renew the record in 2024, in a year that is certainly more positive for poultry farming when compared to the last two years and even with the challenges of the isolated case of Newcastle that it is already being surpassed by Brazil" explains the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
Brazilian pork production could grow by 1% in 2024, reaching a volume of 5.2 million tons, with domestic per capita consumption stabilized at 18 kg per inhabitant/year. For 2025, initial forecasts indicate the possibility of an increase of up to 1%, eventually reaching 5.25 million tons (+1% compared to 2024), maintaining per capita consumption at around 18 kg per inhabitant/year.
Pork exports are expected to end 2024 with a record volume of up to 1.325 million tons, growth of up to 7.7% compared to the previous year. For 2025, the initial projection indicates exports of up to 1.375 million, an estimated increase of up to 3.8% compared to 2024.
"In an international context in which the main exporter, the European Union, has systematically reduced its exports, Brazil has been gaining ground in the international market. Combined with recent market openings or expansions achieved, projections indicate record volumes in this year 2024, with diversification of the markets purchasing our pork", highlights ABPA's markets director, Luis Rua.
Egg production in Brazil could reach 56.9 billion units in 2024, growth of up to 8.5% compared to last year. The Association's projection also indicates that by 2024 consumption will also grow by 8.5%, totaling 263 units per inhabitant/year. For 2025, the initial production estimate is up to 57.5 billion units, an estimated growth of 1% compared to 2024.
Exports are expected to decline by up to 20%, with 20 thousand tons expected. However, in 2025, a resumption of growth in exported volume is expected, with 22 thousand tons exported and an increase of 10%.
"We had a first half of the year with very strong demand in the domestic market, which reduced the sector’s export momentum. We estimate a record per capita consumption in our country in 2024", highlights the president of ABPA.
