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

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.

The labor shortage has changed its face in Brazil: companies hire 80% more, but workers stay only 6.8 months in the job, the service market becomes a “revolving door,” and businesses spend increasingly more to train teams that soon leave.
