Brazilian chicken meat exports are expected to break a record in 2023

Published May 15, 2023

Tridge summary

Brazilian chicken meat exports are set to surpass 5 million tons in a year for the first time, driven by a 33.3% growth in shipments to China due to African swine fever and lack of avian flu in Brazil. In the first four months of the year, export earnings grew by 19% to US$ 3.5 billion and the volume exported increased by 12% to 1.75 million tons. The export growth is predicted to be between 8% and 10% in comparison to the previous year, with foreign sales expected to be between 5.2 and 5.25 million tons. Despite strong demand from China, Brazil is also focusing on expanding into new markets, recently opening the market in French Polynesia.
