Despite this, two Arab countries, Jordan and Yemen, increased their purchases of the product, says ABPA.<\/p>\n<p>From January to May, Brazil exported 1.6 million tons. In the same period of last year, the country had exported 1.75 million tons, that is, 149,000 tons more.<\/p>\n<p>In value, exports had an even sharper decline, of 12.3%, in the same comparison. They generated USD 2.6 billion from January to May of 2018 and USD 2.96 billion in 2017\u2019s first five months \u2013 USD 364 million more.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the decline, ABPA stated that the truckers\u2019 strike in Brazil, that occurred between the end of May and beginning of June, didn\u2019t impact the numbers. The strike should reflect on June\u2019s numbers. Due to the road blockades, trucks were unable to reach the ports and even feeds and inputs couldn\u2019t reach the plants for the supply of animals.<\/p>\n<p>In May, there was a decline of 4.7% in volume of the poultry exported by Brazil, which reached 333,200 tons. Revenues reached USD 517.6 million, a drop of 13% over the same month of last year.<\/p>\n<p>ABPA highlighted the 100% hike in volume of exports to Mexico, from January to May, plus the increase 12% in China\u2019s purchases. \u201cThere was also a significant increase in exports to Jordan, Yemen, South Africa, South Korea and Chile,\u201d said ABPA\u2019s executive director, Ricardo Santin, in a statement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by S\u00e9rgio Kakitani <\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-196175\">Press Release<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shipments of the product declined in volume from January to May of this year.
