Chicken meat exports from Brazil totaled record revenue of US$ 922.1 million in August, a figure that exceeds by 36.1% the revenue obtained in the same month of last year, amid increased demand and high prices, said this Monday the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA).
In terms of volume, shipments –which consider fresh and processed products– totaled 437.8 thousand tons, up 15.3% year-on-year.
“The global scenario is highly demanding for proteins from Brazil, with a special effect on chicken meat exports, which has pressured (up) the international prices of products around the world”, said in a note the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
In the year to August, chicken meat exports from Brazil reached 3.266 million tons, an increase of 7.1%, while revenue grew 33.7% in the period, to US$ 6.542 billion.
Among the main destinations for chicken meat exports between January and August, the United Arab Emirates stands out, with 319 thousand tons (+45%), Japan, with 277.6 thousand tons (+2%), Philippines, with 165 thousand tons (+47%), the European Union, with 163.2 thousand tons (+29%) and South Korea, with 124.3 thousand tons (+63%).
“Asian markets have been increasing their share of Brazilian chicken meat exports. Countries such as the Philippines and South Korea, for example, expanded their imports in volumes significantly above historical averages, joining Brazil’s other important and historic trading partners in the region such as Japan and China in the list of main importers,” he added.
