Brazil: Chicken meat exports close in July at nearly 400,000 tons
The number is 13.8% lower than that recorded in the same period last year (with shipments of 463.7 thousand tons in July 2024) but, at the same time, it exceeds by 16.4% the total exported in June this year (with 343.4 thousand tons).
Revenue recorded in July reached US$737.8 million, a balance 17% lower than the previous year (US$889.2 million), but 15.8% higher compared to June, US$637 million.
"There has been a notable reestablishment of trade with many nations that had suspended imports due to an isolated and now resolved case of Avian Influenza on a commercial farm. Comparatively, over 50,000 tons have been added to our flow, a number that is expected to expand in the coming months as negotiations are consolidated and all markets reopen", assesses ABPA president Ricardo Santin.
