From January to September, Brazil exported 3.876 million tons, a decrease of 1% year-over-year, totaling US$$ in revenue. This performance was impacted by a case of avian flu in May, which led to the temporary suspension of shipments. Most of the embargoes have now been lifted.

ABPA President Ricardo Santin highlighted positive expectations for October, driven by the resumption of sales to the European Union. The leading states in exports continue to be Paraná, Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, and Goiás.
