# Chicken meat continues to sustain competitiveness against beef

> Brazilian live-bird prices rose during the week in several regions, while wholesale chicken-cut prices were stable. Analysts said chicken remains competitive against beef and expected incoming wage payments to support consumption and restocking. Newcastle disease detections in Santa Catarina raise export concerns, although Mexico’s regionalization policy limits the reach of restrictions; diverted exports could increase domestic supply.

## Why it matters

If export shipments are disrupted, chicken could be redirected to Brazil’s domestic market, weighing on prices; stronger consumer demand and balanced placements may offset that pressure. The Newcastle-related export risk also bears watching for poultry demand and trade flows.
