São Paulo – Hatching eggs and poultry genetic material exports from Brazil were up 26.7% in revenue last year to USD 147.7 million, industry group ABPA said.
Hatching egg exports in 2021 came out to 14,518 tonnes, up 60.9% year on year and grossing USD 59.319 million, up 53.3% in 2021.
Genetic material exports reached 1,173 tonnes, down 4.6% year on year and fetching USD 88.441 million, down 13.5%.
“Brazil has established itself as a cutting-edge genetics export platform, with high-quality products and a unique health status, free of diseases that are afflicting other major producers like the avian influenza. The country has major companies going international with a global strategy guided by initiatives like Brazilian Breeders, the industry’s international brand. The good results in 2021 are expected to happen again this year,” a press release quoted ABPA chairman Ricardo Santin as saying.
