Tridge summary

The article highlights a significant increase in chicken export revenue and volume from Mato Grosso, Brazil, comparing to the same period last year. The state saw a revenue jump from US$ 18 million to US$ 41 million, with an 114% increase in volume from nine thousand tons to 19 thousand tons. The majority of these exports were to the Middle East and Asia, with Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates being the top importers. This surge in exports is attributed to the war in Ukraine and exchange rate issues, which have led to a higher demand for food and a substantial increase in chicken meat exports to the Middle East. Despite the dominant share of exports for the international market, around 70% of the poultry production in Brazil is still intended for the domestic market.
