War could lead Brazil to sell more chicken to Arabs and Europeans

Published Mar 15, 2022

Tridge summary

The ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine is expected to boost Brazilian chicken meat purchases in the Arab market and the European Union, as Ukraine is a strong competitor of Brazil in these regions. The Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA) anticipates that national product will occupy the space left by Ukraine. In February 2022, purchases of Brazilian chicken from the United Arab Emirates increased by nearly 90% compared to the same period in 2021, reaching 42,800 tons. The European Union, which bought around 100 thousand tons of chicken meat from Ukraine last year, may also purchase more Brazilian product. Additionally, the lack of Avian Influenza cases in Brazil may also benefit poultry exports.
