In early 2023, Brazilian chicken meat exports experienced significant shifts, with the United Arab Emirates (UAE) increasing its import volume by nearly 25%, thereby raising its share of Brazilian exports to 10% in 2024, a 33% increase from the previous year. Conversely, China's imports decreased by over a third (36.45%), reducing its share from 14.62% in the first quarter of 2023 to 10.03%. This change in trade dynamics, marked by the UAE's substantial import increase, mitigated the overall decline in Brazilian chicken meat exports to its top 10 importers, which fell by almost 10%.
