# Mexico Halts Brazil Chicken Imports After Newcastle Disease Outbreak

> Mexico suspended imports of Brazilian chicken meat, live birds and hatching eggs after Newcastle disease was detected at a commercial farm in southern Brazil. Mexico's agriculture secretariat said the measure protects domestic poultry production. Brazil exports about 30% of its poultry products, and Mexico has halted Brazilian poultry before, in 2025 during avian flu.

## Why it matters

Losing Mexico, a significant buyer of Brazilian chicken, shifts export volumes toward other markets and can pressure Brazilian chicken prices. Other exporters may gain sales if the restrictions spread to more importers.
