Qatar, which hosted the World Cup, has seen a significant increase in Brazilian chicken imports, with revenue up by 67% and volume up by 40% in the first ten months of 2022.

The halal market, which encompasses over a quarter of the world's population and is projected to grow to 2.8 billion by 2050, presents a substantial opportunity for exports of various products.
