Brazil ranks 20th globally for having the cheapest chicken meat, with the population paying R$18.72 per kg, according to the Numbeo database and online discount platform CUPONATION. Each Brazilian consumed an average of 45.27 kilos of chicken meat in the past year, due to its cost-effectiveness, leading to a record 6.18 billion chicken slaughterings in 2021. Despite this, the platform notes that increasing unemployment and decreasing purchasing power in Brazil do not cancel out the growth in hunger in the country.
