Brazilian chicken sales are on track to reach record volumes this year, industry group ABPA said Wednesday, as the country's commercial flocks avoided bird flu infections that have limited shipments from competitors including the United States. United.
Brazil, the world's largest chicken exporter, shipped more than 400,000 tonnes in October, including fresh and processed chicken products, bringing the total volume for the year so far to 4.307 million tonnes, or 6.1% more than the same period last year, ABPA said. The group expects exports to reach more than 5 million tonnes for the year, with China currently the largest buyer.
Export earnings for the 10-month period reached $8.301 billion, up 1.3 percent.
Brazil's avian flu-free status with the World Organization for Animal Health (OIE) has helped keep the country's chicken exports competitive, ABPA said in a statement to Reuters.
Strong exports are expected to continue through 2024, said Ricardo Santin, head of ABPA.
Brazil, home to poultry processors JBS SA
JBSS3.SA and BRF SA BRFS3.SA , has never had commercial flocks infected with avian influenza, also known as highly pathogenic avian influenza.
The avian flu health crisis led to a ban on imports from other countries, including the United States.
While avian flu outbreaks were only detected in non-commercial Brazilian poultry farms, Japan unilaterally suspended imports from two states for a period of time.
On Tuesday, the Brazilian government extended the state of health emergency for 180 days to protect businesses from the threat of commercial flocculent infection.
China was the main destination for Brazilian chicken exports until October, purchasing 592,600 tonnes, 31% more than during the same period in 2022, according to ABPA. Saudi Arabia imported 305,000 tonnes, up 5%, and South Africa increased its imports of Brazilian chicken meat by 25%, to 286,000 metric tonnes.
