In July, Brazil saw a significant surge in its exports of chicken meat, with total shipments reaching 519,200 tonnes, marking a 29.9% increase year-on-year. This growth was primarily driven by a 26.2% rise in exports to Saudi Arabia, which imported 39,700 tonnes, up from 31,500 tonnes in the same period last year. The United Arab Emirates, however, saw a decline in imports by 19.9% to 41,100 tonnes.
China remained the leading buyer, followed by Japan, the European Union, and South Africa. Total export revenue for chicken meat in July amounted to USD 991.2 million, a 34.3% increase from July 2025. Year-to-date exports and revenue were 3.455 million tonnes and USD 6.69 billion, respectively, reflecting a 15.2% and 19.3% year-to-date increase.
ABPA President Ricardo Santin attributed these figures to Brazil's strong presence in international markets, noting that this year's data was measured against July 2025 when the industry was recovering from the impact of a previous highly pathogenic avian influenza outbreak.
