Brazilian egg exports have experienced a strong first half, with a 150% increase in volume and a 222% increase in value compared to the same period last year. Japan and Taiwan have been the primary destinations for Brazilian egg exports, with Japan experiencing a significant reduction in its laying hen flock due to avian flu. Despite the increase in exports, the Associação Brasileira de Proteína Animal (ABPA) reassures consumers in Brazil that there will be no local shortages, as exports account for less than 1% of the country's local production.
