> Bird flu on one southern Brazil farm has halted exports to major markets including China, Mexico and South Korea, shutting out more than $4 billion a year, or 40% of export revenue. Brazil supplies over a third of global chicken exports, and analysts expect higher prices abroad and lower prices at home. Chicken demand has been growing as consumers look for cheaper alternatives to beef.
