In the latter half of December 2022, the chicken market experienced only minor price fluctuations. Slaughtered chicken prices saw a slight increase of half a percent from the previous week and 0.74% from the end of November, though not reaching the rates seen in October. On the other hand, live chicken prices dramatically fell by 40 cents, resulting in a 7.27% decrease to R$5.10/kg, the same price as in early March, despite anticipating price stability. This downturn did not significantly change the market's semi-paralyzed state, leading to discounted sales. With no disruptions due to Brazilian games and the approach of Christmas, the market is expected to stabilize without hitting rock bottom. However, it is unlikely to revert to its previous performance, implying that live chicken prices may end 2022 no higher than January and February prices, with a maximum increase of 3% from December.
