Brazil: Poultry and Products Semi-annual

Brazil is the second-largest chicken meat producer in the world after the United States and the largest chicken meat exporter in the world. Post forecasts chicken meat production will increase two percent in 2025 due to strong external demand, devalued Brazilian currency, socio-economic performance, production costs, and increased domestic consumption. Brazil continues to maintain its status as free from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in commercial plants. This report considers current status quo for its estimates. Post estimates domestic consumption to increase one percent in 2025. Chicken meat exports are forecast to increase five percent in 2025, as Brazil opens new markets and consolidates and diversifies exports to existing markets. Brazil is diligently negotiating regionalization clauses to its current health certificates, with the objective of protecting its exports in case of HPAI or additional Newcastle Disease outbreaks.
