Brazil's bird flu outbreak led to poultry trade bans that may weigh on domestic chicken prices, according to analysts quoted by Reuters on May 20. Brazil faces food inflation that has hurt the government's popularity, and the price drop would offer some relief, though analysts said it may be short-lived.
Export bans leave excess chicken in Brazil's domestic market, pushing local chicken prices down. The price effect in Brazil is the opposite of the global effect, where buyers face tighter supply.
