Brazil: Poultry and Products Annual

Brazil is the third-largest chicken meat producer and the largest chicken meat exporter in the world. Post forecasts chicken meat production will increase in 2027 due to consistent external demand, a lower currency valuation, lower production costs, increased domestic consumption, and despite sluggish socio-economic performance. Brazil is currently free from Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in commercial plants. Post forecasts both domestic consumption and exports to increase in 2027 as Brazil opens new markets and diversifies exports to existing markets.
