This increase is mostly driven by higher world demand for the Brazilian product, especially after the impact of the Avian Influenza in several countries and continued increasing broiler exports to China. In addition, domestic demand for boilers should improve in 2017 as the Brazilian economy is projected to grow and inflation is likely to be under control. Feed prices remain as the main constraint, although large packers benefit from lower-priced corn imports and subsidized government bids from public corn stocks.
Post forecasts broiler exports in 2017 to expand by 5% to 4.4 mill. metric tons, over this year ́s record. The growth in exports will likely be driven by higher world demand for the Brazilian products, mostly from China, the European Union and new markets recently opened. Brazil is now able to exports broilers to 158 countries, but 65% of all poultry exports are concentrated in seven countries (China, European Union, Hong Kong, Japan, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and United Arab Emirates).
