# Chicken prices recover, but embargoes still worry the sector

> Brazilian chicken prices recovered gradually in October, supported by balanced production and consumption and solid exports, mainly in the South and Southeast. Newcastle disease cases in Santa Catarina continue to restrict exports, and Mexico restored imports from other Brazilian states on October 30 through regionalization, while full export resumption still depends on negotiations.

## Why it matters

Export restrictions on Brazilian chicken keep some supply domestic, supporting local prices, while lifting restrictions would add demand for corn and soybean meal used in poultry feed.
