"The international demand for the Brazilian product continues to rise, with occasional changes being offset by increased purchases from other importing countries. This year, we have seen traditional markets, such as China and the European Union, resume their leading role in the performance of chicken meat shipments from Brazil, indicating a trend in purchasing behavior that should continue throughout 2023", analyzes the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.
