"We have a reconfiguration in the flow of poultry genetics from Brazil, which now finds its main international destination in African nations. Brazil's health status has been a crucial point for the continued good performance of sales in this high-value-added segment, especially for markets that have been suffering the impacts of Avian Influenza", analyzes the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
