The United Arab Emirates remains the top export destination, accounting for 50% of all Brazilian egg exports, with 6,900 tonnes exported in 2021, a volume 105% larger than the one recorded in the previous year, with 3.3 tonnes. Japan comes in second with 1.1 thousand tons (+270%), followed by Oman with 408 tons (+183%). Qatar, Uruguay, and Saudi Arabia are also notable.

“In the year 2021, the month of December saw the highest volume of exports. Production costs have slashed the sector’s margins dramatically, with the two primary inputs – corn and soy bran – rising by more than 100% in some cases from one year to the next. Exports help to alleviate the difficult situation that laying poultry farming is in,” says Ricardo Santin, president of the ABPA.
