Brazil: Optimism in poultry genetic export sector

Despite the decline in volumes, export revenue in January amounted to US $19.233 million , only 0.8% lower than in January 2024 (US$19.391 million). This suggests that even with reduced supply volumes, the value of genetic products remains high.

Main Export Destinations

Mexico remains the most significant destination for Brazilian poultry genetic exports, importing 898 tonnes of Brazilian products in January, an increase of 13% compared to last year. This indicates stable demand from traditional importers, which is encouraging.

Other countries also showed varying changes in import volumes. Senegal, for example, imported 455 tonnes, a decrease of 3% compared to last year. Meanwhile, Paraguay showed an impressive increase of 97%, reaching 338 tonnes. Venezuela , meanwhile, increased imports by 289%, reaching 186 tonnes, while Colombia saw a 181% increase, importing 73 tonnes.

ABPA

President Ricardo Santin noted that despite temporary fluctuations in supply volumes, there is strong demand from countries traditionally importing Brazilian genetics. He is confident that supply flows will remain strong in the coming months, creating favorable conditions for the sector's further development.

Santin also emphasized that Brazilian producers are actively working to improve the quality of their products and expand their markets. This includes not only traditional destinations such as Mexico and Paraguay, but also promising new markets that could significantly increase export volumes in the future.

Thus, despite the decline in genetic material supply in early 2025, the Brazilian poultry sector is demonstrating confidence in its capabilities. With growing demand from key importers and efforts to improve product quality, Brazil is expected to maintain its position as a leading player in the global poultry genetics market.
