Brazil Resumes Poultry Exports to EU After Bird Flu Containment
Brazil has successfully contained its bird flu issue, allowing it to resume poultry exports to the EU. This comes after a nearly four-month trading pause due to the outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza (bird flu).
The EU has agreed to lift its import restrictions on Brazilian poultry in stages, following Brazil's declaration of being bird flu-free on June 18, 2025. This decision was made after Brazil demonstrated it had effectively controlled the bird flu outbreak that began at a commercial poultry farm in Montenegro, Rio Grande do Sul.
Before the outbreak, Brazilian chicken exports in 2024 saw a 3 percent increase compared to 2023. The EU was a significant market for Brazilian poultry, importing 25,300 tons of chicken in 2024, a 20.8 percent increase year-over-year. With all restrictions now lifted, Brazil's poultry industry can expect a boost in exports and potential price reductions in the European market.
The resumption of poultry imports from Brazil to the EU is a positive development for both parties. Brazil's poultry industry can now fully resume its exports, while the EU can benefit from increased supply and potential price reductions. The successful containment of the bird flu outbreak in Brazil has paved the way for this mutually beneficial trade resumption.
