Tridge summary

Brazil has seen a significant increase in chicken meat exports to Arab and Muslim countries, with the United Arab Emirates and Qatar experiencing particularly high growth in the first half of 2022. This growth is attributed to Brazil's ability to produce quality and safe chicken meat, complying with the food safety requirements of the Islamic religion. The process of certifying chicken meat as halal involves analyzing the entire production chain to ensure compliance with halal regulations and no cross-contamination with pork.

The export of halal eggs is also facilitated through similar requirements, with additional considerations for machinery lubricant and egg transport packaging.
