Brazilian poultry and pork production will increase, but export will be higher by 5% just for broilers, while pork shipments may fall with 3% in 2022. In 2023, both sectors will evolve positively on production and exportations, according the association.
Pig meat production
For pork, ABPA indicates 5% more production in 2022, reaching 4.95 million tonnes. In 2023, production is expected to reach 5.1 million tonnes, an increase of 3%.
The domestic market in 2022 can receive 9% more pork which is about 3.9 million tonnes. For 2023, the expectation is 3.95 million tonnes, 2% more.
“Pork is now more competitive than other proteins, which has generated a considerable boost in domestic consumption, which is expected to reach 18 kilos per capita for the first time”, analyses Luís Rua, market director at ABPA.
«There is an expectation of an increase in Chinese imports of pork over the second half of the year, which should favour exports in the sector» Luís Rua, market director at ABPA.
According to him, other factors can lead Brazilian pig exports to 100,000 per month as of this year, such the Canadian market, tariff reductions in South Korea and Vietnam, and expansion of sales to new markets, such as Thailand.
