Four Countries Lifted Restrictions After Outbreak of Avian Influenza in RS, and Now 44 Nations Keep the Market Open for Brazilian Bird Meat.
Chile, Namibia, North Macedonia, and Saudi Arabia announced the lifting of the temporary restrictions they had imposed on the import of bird meat from Brazil.
The measure came after the conclusion of the outbreak of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), recorded in Montenegro, Rio Grande do Sul.
The decision was deemed significant as it once again expands the reach of Brazilian exports. Brazil heavily depends on this market, and therefore, each country that reopens its doors strengthens the position of the sector in global trade.

Markets Without Restrictions
Currently, 44 countries do not impose restrictions on Brazilian bird meat. Among them are South Africa, Argentina, Mexico, Vietnam, the United Kingdom, India, Egypt, and the United Arab Emirates.
The list also includes South American neighbors such as Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay, in addition to important destinations in the Middle East like Qatar, Kuwait, and Jordan.
Brazil thus maintains a diversified market, which ensures stability for exports. Moreover, presence in different regions reinforces confidence in the Brazilian sanitary system.
Countries with Total Suspension
Some destinations, however, continue with stricter measures. Canada, China, Malaysia, Pakistan, East Timor, and the European Union maintain a total suspension of imports of Brazilian bird meat.
This position reflects sanitary caution and directly affects the volume traded. Nevertheless, the sector bets on a gradual recovery as the HPAI has already been controlled.
Regional and Municipal Restrictions
Other countries opted to limit the bans. Armenia, Russia, Ukraine, and Oman have suspended only exports from Rio Grande do Sul. Japan restricted the purchase of birds from the municipalities of Campinápolis and Santo Antônio da Barra.
Furthermore, Mauritius, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Suriname, and Uzbekistan apply specific zone restrictions. This regionalization process follows the rules of the World Organisation for Animal Health (OIE) and the World Trade Organization (WTO).
