The Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA) informed that Brazil`s egg exports (fresh and processed) totaled 446 tons in February.  This is 67.7% lower than year ago levels when 1,380 tons were shipped.  During that same period comparison, the balance of exports totaled US$769,000 – a 54.2% year-on-year drop.

Year-to-date, egg exports reached 1,260 tons, 57.2% less than in the first two months of 2019, when exports stood at 2,960 tons. Sales during the two month period this year generated revenues of US$1.63 million, 51.1% lower than the same period last year at US$3.34 million.

“The domestic market continues to absorb practically all production, which reflects a lower export volume compared to 2019”, analyzed the executive director of ABPA, Ricardo Santin. Among the main destinations for Brazilian exports, the United Arab Emirates bloc imported 159 tons in February, Saudi Arabia 64 tons, Thailand 55 tons and Japan 22 tons.
