In 2022, Brazil's chicken meat exports hit a record high due to increased global demand caused by the Russia-Ukraine conflict and avian flu outbreaks in the Northern Hemisphere. Factors such as lower animal supply and higher demand for Brazilian protein led to an increase in domestic meat prices. The USDA predicts a decrease in chicken production in Ukraine, a major supplier, by 8.4% in 2022 compared to 2021. The global economic context, including high inflation in many countries, also contributed to the boost in Brazilian chicken meat exports.
