S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian chicken meat exports totalled US$ 1.9 billion in the first four months of the year, representing growth of 18% compared with the same period of last year. A total of 1.158 million tonnes of the product were shipped, a decline of 1.43% using the same basis of comparison. The data were disclosed by the Brazilian Poultry Union (Ubabef) on this Tuesday (25th).<\/p>\n
According to a release issued by the organization, the result points to a recovery of prices, which were low, and reflects the appreciation of the United States dollar. Comparing the period from January until April with the preceding four-month period (September until December 2009), both revenues and volume have dropped, by 3.6% and 4.2%, respectively.<\/p>\n
"This is an effect of the crisis in European countries, and a noteworthy fact is that Brazilian poultry exports to the European Union have dropped by 15% in the first four months of the year," said in a press release the president of the Ubabef, Francisco Turra.<\/p>\n
Middle Eastern countries were the leading destination of the Brazilian product from January to April, with US$ 661.3 million in exports, representing growth of 26.7%. Shipments totalled 426,300 tonnes, or 1.2% more than in the first quarter of 2009. <\/p>\n
The second main destination was Asia, with 316,200 tonnes shipped and US$ 580 million in revenues. Next came the European Union, with US$ 363.4 million in exports. Brazil sold US$ 162 million to Africa and US$ 139.6 million to the Americas.<\/p>\n
