Brazil: Chicken meat exports grow 4 percent in April

In revenue, the sector's international sales reached US$ 840.3 million, a number 2.3% higher than the total recorded in April last year, with US$ 821 million.

In the accumulated of 2023, exports of chicken meat already total 1.749 million tons, a volume 12.1% higher than that registered in the 1st quarter of 2022, with 1.560 million tons.

In the same period, accumulated revenue reached US$ 3.413 billion, a balance 18.9% higher than last year, with US$ 2.872 billion.

"The volume shipped in April practically repeats the monthly average registered throughout this year, which is above 430 thousand tons. In the coming months, export numbers equivalent to those of April are expected, projecting volumes for the year in excess of 5 million tons of chicken meat shipped from Brazil to more than 150 countries", assesses the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin. 

Main destination of Brazilian exports, China imported 262.8 thousand tons in the four-month period, a volume 33.3% higher than that shipped in the same period of 2022. Other highlights were Japan, with 140.6 thousand tons (+6.2%) , South Africa, with 134.1 thousand tons (+12%), Saudi Arabia, with 119.5 thousand tons (+36.9%), European Union, with 79.6 thousand tons (+11%), Philippines , with 76 thousand tons (+8.3%) and Mexico, with 69.6 thousand tons (+18.9%).

In the survey by state, Paraná continues as the sector's main exporter, with 727.5 thousand tons exported between January and April, surpassing by 16.75% the result registered in 2022. Next are Santa Catarina, with 366.2 thousand tons (+8.88%), Rio Grande do Sul, with 245.6 thousand tons (+1.02%), São Paulo, with 101.5 thousand tons (+26.27%) and Goiás, with 79.8 thousand tons (+37.49%).

"China continues its accelerated pace of purchases and this behavior is also repeated in several important destinations such as Mexico, South Korea and Singapore. While we see constant reductions in volumes produced and exported by some countries that compete with Brazil, Brazilian exports continue to gain ground internationally, thus reaffirming the country as a solid partner at a time of great uncertainty due to issues such as influenza aviary in various parts of the world" highlights ABPA's director of markets, Luís Rua.
