S\u00e3o Paulo \u2013 Brazilian poultry exports reached US$ 6.2 billion from January to November, representing growth of 17.4% over the same period of last year. A total of 3.5 million tonnes were shipped, a 5.5% increase using the same basis of comparison. The figures were disclosed Thursday (9th) by the Brazilian Poultry Union (Ubabef).<\/p>\n
Middle Eastern countries have retained their position as leading buyers of Brazilian poultry. So far this year, sales to the region have reached US$ 2 billion, a 14.9% increase compared with January to November last year. Shipments reached 1.2 million tonnes, 0.7% more using the same basis of comparison.<\/p>\n
According to the Ubabef, the Brazilian poultry export performance should set a new record for the industry’s sales. By the end of the year, shipments should reach 3.83 million, 5.5% more than in 2009. Brazil, which became the leading poultry exporter in the world in 2004, still retains the status, ahead of the United States, which should export 3 million tonnes this year.<\/p>\n
"The year of 2010 has been a good year. It has not been fantastic, because we had a significant increase in input costs, and besides, the exchange rate worked against our competiveness abroad, given the appreciation of the real against the dollar," said in a statement the executive chairman of the Ubabef, Francisco Turra.<\/p>\n
The union’s projections for 2011 point to growth of 3% to 5% in shipments and, according to Turra, demand should remain strong on the foreign market, because buyer countries’ stocks are running low.<\/p>\n
From January to November, the second leading buyer region was Asia, with 857,700 tonnes shipped and US$ 1.7 billion in revenues. The African market imported the equivalent of US$ 558.7 million, and the Americas, US$ 437.8 million.<\/p>\n
