Sales amounted to 316,900 tons, up 2.2%, the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (<a href=\"http:\/\/abpa-br.com.br\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ABPA<\/a>)\u00a0reported this Monday (11).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe sanitary situation in Asian countries, such as China, stemming from African swine fever outbreaks, fueled demand for various proteins in major markets across the region. As a result, overall revenue from exports increased by a greater margin than shipped volumes,\u201d a press release quoted ABPA president Francisco Turra as saying.<\/p>\n<p>Proof of that is the fact that China became the leading destination for Brazilian poultry in February, a spot usually belonging to Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n<p>In January and February combined, however, Saudi Arabia was number one at 74,700 tons imported. Five out of Brazil\u2019s ten biggest buyers were Arab in Jan-Feb.<\/p>\n<p>Besides Saudi Arabia, the UAE came in fourth, Yemen in eighth, Kuwait in ninth and Iraq in tenth.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, 598,700 tons got shipped from Brazil in Jan-Feb, down 6.6% year-on-year. Exports grossed USD 979.1 million, down 3.6%, meaning that the good results in February was not enough to offset weak January numbers.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Translated by Gabriel Pomerancblum<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"credits-overlay\" data-target=\".wp-image-210589\">Garage Island Crew\/Cultura Creative\/AFP<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>USD 526 million worth of product got shipped from Brazil, up 6.3% from February 2018, with added demand from Asian countries, notably China.
