# Brazil's chicken meat exports in May 2025: effect of the avian influenza crisis

> Brazil's chicken meat exports in May 2025 totaled 363,100 tons, 17.6% below April and the lowest monthly level since August 2024. The decline followed the first HPAI detection in a Brazilian commercial poultry breeding facility, and wholesale frozen chicken prices in São Paulo fell sharply.

## Why it matters

Lower Brazilian chicken exports weaken global poultry prices and reduce feed demand from Brazilian integrators, which is bearish for corn and soymeal used in poultry rations.
