Historical Growth in Exports Driven by Strong Demand from the USA Amid Avian Flu Crisis
Brazil’s egg exports grew an impressive 271% in April 2025, driven by strong demand from the United States, which is facing a crisis in the poultry sector. The result reinforces Brazil’s role as an agile and reliable supplier in times of global scarcity.
Strong Growth in Brazilian Exports Driven by Crisis in the USA
According to a survey by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), Brazilian egg exports soared to 4,300 metric tons in April, representing a 271% increase compared to the same month in 2024. Revenue also skyrocketed: it reached US$ 10.57 million, an increase of almost 253% in revenue. This record performance is directly related to the emergency demand from the United States, a country that has faced severe outbreaks of avian flu since 2022, resulting in the death of around 170 million birds.
InfoMoney, which accessed data released by ABPA, highlighted that only the USA purchased 2,800 tons of Brazilian eggs in the month, generating US$ 6.3 million alone. The internal situation in the United States led the country to seek external suppliers at an accelerated pace, with Brazil emerging as one of the key players in this supply.

Brazilian Exports Also Advance to Demanding Markets Like Japan
In addition to the United States, Japan has also significantly increased its purchases of Brazilian products. Exports to the Asian country totaled 371 tons in April, a rise of nearly 300% compared to the same period last year. This movement is interpreted as a credibility achievement for national producers, who have managed to meet rigorous sanitary requirements.
From January to April 2025, Brazil exported 13,000 tons of eggs, according to ABPA, a 134% growth over the same period in 2024. The total revenue generated in this interval was US$ 28.3 million, an increase of 153%.
Rapid Response Capacity Strengthens Global Position
For Ricardo Santin, president of ABPA, the recent performance proves the country’s ability to position itself as a reliable partner in times of global sanitary emergency. “We are talking about markets with demanding sanitary standards, and Brazil has shown that it can meet these with quality, volume, and agility,” he stated to the specialized press.
This advance in Brazilian exports is part of a broader context of reconfiguration of global animal protein chains, driven by sanitary and logistical factors. The avian flu crisis in the USA, for example, not only affected domestic supply but also forced a reorganization of international sourcing.
Expectations for the Coming Months
With the scenario still uncertain in the United States, analysts in the sector expect Brazil’s egg exports to maintain their strong pace throughout the first half. Continued purchases from large markets, such as Japan and the USA, could consolidate a new phase of prominence for national producers.
In addition to ABPA, outlets like InfoMoney and international trade agencies have been closely monitoring the behavior of the global egg market, highlighting Brazil as a positive standout in a sector impacted by sanitary and logistical challenges.
