The main destination for poultry genetics exports, Mexico imported 4,750 thousand tons between January and May, a number 40.6% lower than the total recorded in the same period of the previous year. On the other hand, South Africa – which recently started importing the Brazilian product – imported 2,955 thousand tons in the same period, and is already positioned as the second main destination.

"We have a reconfiguration in the flow of poultry genetics from Brazil, which now finds its main international destination in African nations. Brazil's health status has been a crucial point for the continued good performance of sales in this high-value-added segment, especially for markets that have been suffering the impacts of Avian Influenza", analyzes the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
