The preliminary data for 2022 shows that the effective Brazilian population was lower than projected, resulting in a higher per capita availability of chicken meat. The estimated population was below the expectations of the IBGE for 2021 and August 2022. Despite a population increase of 9% since the last IBGE census in 2010, the per capita availability of chicken meat saw a positive growth of about 6% in 2022. However, the volume for 2022 may not have reached the records set in 2011, 2020, and 2021, which is believed to have been a record year for per capita availability.
