Brazilian chicken exports rose by 14.6 percent in August, the third-best monthly result on record. Chicken exports totaled 416,800 tonnes last month, confirming a recent forecast.
In financial terms, processed and chicken exports generated revenues of $690.6 million in August, a 13.1-percent rise from the same period last year.
The numbers signal the resilience of the world’s largest chicken exporter, in spite of a food inspection scandal that led to stricter sanitary controls in Brazil and its export destinations.
