This figure exceeds by 6% the total exported in the same period last year, when 476,000 tons were shipped.<\/p>\n<p>Monthly export revenue also reached a record high. In total, it was US$944.7 million in March of this year, a figure 6.21% higher than the US$889.9 million in the same period of 2025.<\/p>\n<p>In the year (January to March), the volume shipped by the sector reached 1.456 million tons, exceeding by 5% the total exported in the first quarter of 2025, with 1.387 million tons. The growth is even more significant in revenue, with US$$ 2.764 billion this year, a result 6.9% higher compared to the previous year, with US$$ 2.586 billion last year.<\/p>\n<p>China resumed its import levels to those seen before May 2025 (when an outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza occurred in Brazilian commercial production, a situation that has since been resolved), totaling 51,800 tons in March of this year (+11.61% of the 4-year import quota compared to the same month of the previous year). The main destinations are Japan, with 42,100 tons (+41.31% of the 4-year import quota), Saudi Arabia, with 38,700 tons (-5.31% of the 4-year import quota), South Africa (+21.41% of the 4-year import quota), and the European Union, with 30,700 tons (+33.71% of the 4-year import quota).<\/p>\n<p>In an analysis of the effects of the Gulf War and the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, exports to Middle Eastern countries that are destinations for Brazilian chicken meat registered a drop of 19.81% in shipped volumes in March of this year compared to February, prior to the conflict.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite the comparative drop recorded in the Middle East, the significant volumes prove that the flow of exports continues to access the region through alternative routes. More than 100,000 tons were sent to markets in the region in March, with more than 45,000 tons destined for countries directly impacted by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz. The facilitation efforts carried out by the Ministry of Agriculture and the sector have been effective, guaranteeing the supply of food to the areas currently affected by the Gulf War. In the remaining markets, demand continues to grow, especially in the main destinations in Asia,\u201d analyzes the president of ABPA, Ricardo Santin.<\/p>\n<p>The leading exporting state, Paran\u00e1, shipped 202,000 tons, a 5.11% increase compared to the same period last year. Next are Santa Catarina, with 109,000 tons (+2.71% increase), Rio Grande do Sul, with 70,700 tons (+11.91% increase), S\u00e3o Paulo, with 32,500 tons (+22.61% increase), and Goi\u00e1s, with 26,000 tons (+14.81% increase).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h6><em>THE <strong>MM Cereais<\/strong> works with the best grains on the market and also keeps you up to date with the latest news and analyses on agribusiness.<br \/>\nDon&#039;t forget to follow our social networks.<\/em><\/h6>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/opresenterural.com.br\/como-anda-a-exportacao-de-frango-com-a-crise-no-oriente-medio\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Access News Source <\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Brazilian exports of chicken meat (considering all products, including fresh...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":26867,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26866","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-exportacoes"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26866","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26866"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26866\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/26867"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26866"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26866"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mmcereais.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26866"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
