The Brazilian Association of Animal Proteins (ABPA) reported on Tuesday (June 14, 2022) that Brazil's monthly revenue from poultry exports reached a record $ 904.6 million in May, up 37.8% from the previous year.
The world's largest poultry exporter shipped 429,600 tonnes during the period, up 3.7% from May 2021.
“The global inflationary scenario, with rising production costs, and the strong demand for chicken meat in the international market boosted the average price to levels above $2,000 per ton,” said ABPA Chief Executive Ricardo Santin in a statement.
May’s export revenues topped the previous monthly record of $821.07 million set in April, according to the association.
China was the main buyer of Brazilian poultry in May, importing 50,200 tonnes, despite its orders dropping 8.8% from the previous May.
United Arab Emirates bought 73.2% more poultry than in the previous year, reaching 44,800 tonnes, while Japan purchased 33,100 tonnes, up 3.2%.
