Boom in Brazilian egg exports
Brazil exported 1.270 tonnes of eggs in January and February, marking an increase of 150% compared to the same months a year ago. "The strong increase in exports in 2021 resumes the levels of shipments practiced before the pandemic. The balance of sales increases the foreign exchange generated by the sector at an especially important time for the egg sector, with strong production costs,", commented Ricardo Santin, president of the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein (ABPA).
Eggs are also in high demand in the domestic market as the consumers are looking to buy cheaper animal protein products. In terms of value, Brazilian egg exports are worth $4.13 million, 152.8% more than the same period a year ago. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) was the main destination for Brazilian eggs exported, receiving 2,356 tonnes in the two months, 209.7% more than in the first two months of 2020. The second place went to Sierra Leone, which received 103 tonnes in the two months, and there were no imports registered in 2020. The third place was Japan, which imported 89.2 tonnes, an increase of 103% in comparison with the same period last year.
