# Brazil could face costly poultry export restrictions after Newcastle disease outbreak

> A Newcastle disease outbreak was confirmed on 18 October 2026 at a commercial turkey farm in Santa Catarina, Brazil, its first in more than two years. Mexico, Brazil's seventh-largest chicken market, imposed a nationwide import ban on 19 October, and Saudi Arabia restricted imports from Santa Catarina only.

## Why it matters

Losing Mexico and other buyers shifts Brazilian chicken supply toward other markets and could pressure Brazilian chicken export prices, while roughly 14% of Brazil's poultry exports face potential restrictions. Lower export demand may also weigh on domestic poultry prices and reduce demand for feed ingredients such as corn and soybean meal.
