European Union Approves Chicken Exports from Brazil After Months of Suspension Due to Avian Flu. Sector Expects Recovery in Global Market.

The European Union has authorized the purchase of Brazilian chicken and turkey again this Monday (22), after nearly five months of suspension caused by an outbreak of avian flu at a farm in Rio Grande do Sul.

The decision was communicated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock and officially recognizes Brazil as a disease-free country, according to criteria from the OIE (World Organisation for Animal Health).

The measure is seen as crucial to revitalize Brazilian poultry exports, which had been severely impacted since May.

How Will the Resumption of Chicken Exports Be

The European regulation was published this Monday but comes into effect this Tuesday (23). The release will follow a phased process:

All of Brazil, except Rio Grande do Sul: exports authorized since September 18;

Rio Grande do Sul (except the affected area): resumption starting October 2;

10 km radius around the affected farm: exports released on October 16.

This differentiation aims to ensure sanitary safety and reinforce the European Union’s confidence in Brazilian production.

International Recognition and OIE Role

Brazil declared itself free from avian flu on June 18, 2025, after the end of the sanitary void established due to the case registered in Montenegro (RS).

The official notification was sent to the OIE, which validated the sanitary status in September. This recognition was decisive for the European Union to reopen the market to Brazilian chicken.

According to the federal government, more than 40 countries had adopted some type of restriction on Brazilian poultry since the confirmation of the outbreak in Rio Grande do Sul.

With the sanitary reclassification, several markets have already resumed purchases of chicken.

Economic Impact and Sector Expectation

From January to August 2025, Brazil exported 3.28 million tons of chicken meat, generating US$ 6.15 billion in revenue.

The sector, one of the pillars of the national agribusiness, saw its international participation threatened during the suspension period, as the European Union is considered one of the main trading partners.

Now, with the gradual reopening, slaughterhouses and producers expect to regain market share and enhance competitiveness in the global scenario.

Even so, the sector remains cautious regarding other markets, especially China.

China Maintains Audit Before Releasing Purchases

Unlike the European Union, China has not yet resumed the import of Brazilian chicken.

The country began an audit of national slaughterhouses this Monday to evaluate sanitary controls related to avian influenza.

This technical mission is considered essential for the Chinese government to reopen its market to Brazil.

As China ranks among the largest buyers of animal protein, the expectation is that the release will occur in the coming weeks, providing a new boost to exports.

What the Resumption Means for Brazil

The European Union’s decision reinforces international confidence in the quality and sanitary controls of chicken meat produced in Brazil.

Additionally, it highlights the importance of the country’s rapid response to sanitary emergencies, preventing a single outbreak of avian influenza from compromising the entire sector.

The expectation now is that, with the European release and the possible reopening of the Chinese market, Brazil fully recovers its export pace, maintaining its position as a global leader in poultry supply.

What the Resumption Means for Brazil

While in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

The primate that science has called peaceful for decades has proven to be as aggressive as the chimpanzee in a study with thousands of hours of footage that debunks one of the greatest myths of primatology.

A view from space, an image made by NASA shows the impressive Richat Structure, a geological formation located in the Sahara Desert, also known as the “Eye of the Sahara.”

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Solar-powered ice factory in the Amazon that eliminated a 5-hour trip to Manaus, prevents the loss of up to two-thirds of the fish, and now ensures income for more than 30 riverside families.

A new agricultural irrigation technology developed in Brazil uses artificial intelligence to reduce electricity bills and save water.

A parachutist crashed into the giant screen of the stadium and hung from the structure in front of thousands of people while carrying the flag of the United States during an exhibition flight.

With floating cranes and millimeter precision, Japan erected the cable-stayed bridge of Kesennuma over the bay after the 2011 tsunami, lifting steel modules weighing thousands of tons during tidal windows.

A 1953 Fusca that almost no one knows exists can be auctioned for R$ 570,000 in Brazil, and the reason it is worth so much money surprises even experienced collectors.

Social experiment leaves a bottle on the ground and reveals who ignores the trash and who picks it up right away, showing why clean cities live in more peace.
