The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture has announced the addition of eight new poultry meat factories and four cold storages in China, bringing the total to 55. This development is significant for the Brazilian Animal Protein Association ABPA. Additionally, Brazil and the Philippines have established a system assessment access mechanism to facilitate smoother export of Brazilian poultry and pork. Despite a decline in exports to China, Brazilian pork exports increased by 17.6% in the first two months of 2024, with the Philippines being the third largest market. Chicken exports also increased by 4.7% in February 2024, with Paraná leading in exports.
