For the semester, the sectoral performance of exports reached a high of 11.4%, with 2,045,000 tonnes exported in 2019, against 1,836,000 of tonnes shipped last year. In the first six months of this year, the value of Brazilian poultry exports reached $3.406 billion (+14.9%), against $2.964 billion in 2018.
"There was an increase in the purchases of almost all major importers, which generated a positive current of exports. The international context of high demand for protein is felt in several markets", commented Francisco Turra, president of ABPA.
China and Europe have been the most lucrative markets for the Brazilian poultry exporters this year due to the ASF situation in Asia and a shift in consumption in the EU.
