Poultry exports from Brazil increased 5.7% in March
In March, Brazilian exports of chicken meat (considering all products, between fresh and processed) totaled 418,000 tonnes, according to the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA). The volume is 5.7% higher than the one reported in the same month last year. In terms of value, Brazilian chicken meat exports are worth $771.1 million, a figure 27.8% higher than the result recorded in the same period last year.
For the first quarter of the year, chicken meat exports reached 1.142 million tonnes, 10.2% higher than that recorded in the first three months of 2021, with 1.036 million tonnes, totaling a revenue of $2.051 billion, a number 31.5% higher than the figure reported in Q1 2021.
“The Brazilian sector is reinforcing its international presence this year, given the favorable scenario for imports in the global market, which is suffering the effects of the various outbreaks of Avian Influenza among large producers and exporters. In this context, the fact that it has never registered the disease in its territory becomes a competitive advantage for Brazil, which has used the good flow of exports to compensate for the losses generated by historical highs in production costs”, declared the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
Among the import destinations, China returns to the leadership of monthly sales in the sector, with imports of 60.3 thousand tonnes in March, a volume 8.4% higher than that recorded in the third month of 2021, with 55.6 thousand tonnes. Following the main destinations are Japan (2nd place) with 39.1 thousand tonnes (+10.6%); United Arab Emirates (3rd place), with 36.1 thousand tonnes (+59.6%), South Africa (4th place), with 33.3 thousand tonnes (+11.3%) and Mexico (5th place), with 29.2 thousand tonnes (+301.9%).
"With the conflict in Eastern Europe, Brazil has been increasingly called upon to strengthen its position as the world's main exporter of chicken meat. At a time when international supply is scarce, Brazil is reaffirming itself as a safe and stable port for the more than 140 countries that buy our protein. Proof of this is that practically all the main Brazilian chicken meat export destinations registered a significant increase in their imports, with China being the main highlight", completed Luis Rua, director of Markets at ABPA.
