Brazil: Egg exports increase 150 percent in the first half
The revenue generated by exports in the semester totaled US$ 41.2 million, a number 222.4% higher than that registered in the first six months of 2022, with US$ 12.8 million.
Considering only the month of June, 4,600 tons of eggs were exported from Brazil, a volume 901.1% higher than that registered in 2022, with 469 tons. In revenue, the increase is 608.6% in the period, with US$ 11.6 million in the sixth month of this year, compared to US$ 1.6 million in the same period of the previous year.
“We registered in 2023 the best semester of the last ten years, with the expectation of reaching a new level in egg exports from Brazil in 2023 thanks to the average registered in the last three months, above 4 thousand tons per month. Volumes shipped between April and June established the best quarter ever recorded by the sector. Although it does not have an impact on the internal supply of eggs, since it represents less than 1% of production, international sales have consolidated themselves as an important source of revenue for companies in the sector in the face of the challenges generated by production costs over recent times”, evaluates the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
Among the main destinations for exports, Japan appears as the main importer, with 6.9 thousand tons imported between January and June of this year, a result 1.304% higher than that registered in the same period of 2022. Soon after appears Taiwan, with 5.4 thousand tons (in the previous year, there was no shipment of products to the Asian destination).
“Japan's recent suspension of poultry products from Santa Catarina should not impact egg sales in Brazil. In the entire first semester, less than 0.2 tons of product from Santa Catarina were shipped to the Asian destination”, evaluates the director of markets, Luis Rua.
