S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian exports of fresh and processed poultry protein to Saudi Arabia grew year to date through November compared to the same period last year. In the first eleven months of 2023, 337,400 tonnes were shipped to the Arab country, a 7.2% increase over 2022, reported meat lobby ABPA this Thursday (7). According to ABPA\u2019s Markets director, Lu\u00eds Rua, other Arab countries also bought more poultry from Brazil this year.<\/p>\n
In addition to Saudi Arabia, other countries expanded their imports, such as China, with a volume 28% higher this year compared to 2022 (632,200 tonnes), South Africa, South Korea, and Mexico.<\/p>\n
\u201cSeveral destinations in the Middle East and North Africa have increased purchases from Brazil. Even Algeria, one of the countries in the region, recently opened the market to Brazilian exports, bolstering Brazil\u2019s role as the world\u2019s biggest exporter of halal protein [produced according to Islamic standards]. In turn, China, our leading buyer, has been increasing its purchases of Brazilian poultry by 28% throughout the year, in a context of decreasing local production this year,\u201d said Rua in the ABPA release.<\/p>\n
The sector\u2019s exports tallied, year to date through November, 4.684 million tonnes, a 5.6% increase over the same period last year. Revenue, however, plateaued in the period, with a total of USD 8.977 billion this year against USD 8.976 billion in the first 11 months of 2022. Solely in November, shipments totaled 377,400 tonnes, a 0.5% expansion over the same month in 2022.
