Chicken meat exports accumulate an increase of 5.6 percent in 2023
The accumulated result in exports in the first eleven months of this year reached US$8.977 billion, a number equivalent to that recorded between January and November 2022, with US$8.976 billion.
Considering only the November result, 377.4 thousand tons of chicken meat were shipped, a number 0.5% higher than that recorded in the same period of the previous year, with 375.6 thousand tons. In revenue, there was a decrease of 13.5% in the comparative period, with US$676.1 million in November 2023, against US$781.3 million in 2022.
"The positive flow registered last month and which was repeated practically throughout the year indicates confirmation of ABPA's projections for shipments that are expected to exceed 5 million tons in 2023, reinforcing Brazil's position for global food security, complementing local production", assesses the president of ABPA.
The main destination for chicken meat exports, China imported the equivalent of 632.2 thousand tons between January and November this year, a volume 28% higher than that recorded in the same period of 2022. Other highlights in the period were Saudi Arabia, with 337 .4 thousand tons (+7.2%), South Africa, with 309.2 thousand tons (+20.9%), South Korea, with 184.4 thousand tons (+9.8%) and Mexico, with 172.5 thousand tons (+28.4%).
"Several destinations in the Middle East and North Africa have increased volumes imported from Brazil. Even Algeria, one of the countries in the region, recently opened the market to Brazilian exports, reinforcing Brazil's role as the largest exporter of halal protein in the world. In turn, China, our main buyer, has been increasing its purchases of Brazilian chicken meat by 28% throughout the year, in an environment of decreasing Chinese production this year", analyzes Luis Rua, ABPA's Director of Markets.
