SAFRAS & Mercado analyst Fernando Henrique Iglesias says that exports are a positive point this year, especially in a year in which costs are falling in the first half of the year. “We have a strong export force. Chicken meat is no mystery because we have an important direction for more than 100 countries. It is a very solid moment, and I see that we could potentially see a year of record shipments for chicken meat.”
