SAO PAULO, Aug 20 (Reuters) - Chicken exports from Brazil, the world's largest supplier, are expected to fall by as much as 2% in 2025 to 5.2 million metric tons, meat lobby ABPA said on Wednesday, citing the effects of trade embargos by large importers including China following a local outbreak of bird flu in May.
ABPA had previously expected Brazilian chicken exports to rise as much as 1.9% this year. The group also said Brazil's egg exports are forecast to increase by almost 117% to 40,000 tons in 2025 amid strong demand from the United States, where domestic egg supplies dropped amid its own bird flu outbreak.
