Brazilian poultry exports were affected by the closure of several major markets following the detection of bird flu in Rio Grande do Sul. In June, Brazil exported 314,000 tons of poultry meat, down 29% from April (before the outbreak was detected) and the lowest monthly volume since November 2021.
The expectation is that export flows will gradually return to normal as countries reopen their borders.
In the first half of the year, Brazil exported 2.409 million tons of poultry meat, representing a 1.5% drop year-on-year.
