Beef exports from São Paulo to the European Union fall in the first quarter

According to the Technical Group for Monitoring the Supply of Food and Agricultural Products in São Paulo, exports of fresh beef from São Paulo to the European Union totaled 21,600 tons in the first quarter, down from 24, 500 tons shipped during the same period last year.  The data is part of an updated analysis of the main impact of the new coronavirus pandemic on the agricultural sector in São Paulo and encompasses the entire chain in the 645 municipalities.

Regarding chicken, even with the readjustment of exports and recovery of demand in the Asian and Middle Eastern markets, weak demand in the domestic market reduced production at poultry slaughterhouses, forcing a renegotiation of contracts signed with farms. According to the technical group, the devaluation of pork has been more intense, and independent producers have been facing difficulties to sell the animals.
