Brazil chicken exports to fall 2% in 2025 due to bird flu embargos

Investing.com -- Brazil’s chicken exports are expected to decrease by up to 2% in 2025 to 5.2 million metric tons, according to meat lobby ABPA on Wednesday.

The downward revision comes as a result of trade embargos imposed by major importers, including China, following a bird flu outbreak in Brazil in May.

ABPA had previously projected an increase of up to 1.9% in Brazilian chicken exports for this year.

Despite the challenges in the chicken sector, Brazil’s egg exports are forecast to surge by nearly 117% to 40,000 tons in 2025. This significant growth is driven by strong demand from the United States, where domestic egg supplies have declined due to its own bird flu outbreak.

Brazil currently holds the position of the world’s largest chicken supplier, making the export reduction particularly significant for global poultry markets.
