The Decision of the Chinese Authorities Ends a Blockade Initiated in 2024 for Sanitary Reasons, Restoring Rio Grande do Sul’s Access to a Market That Accounted for Almost 6% of Chicken Exports and Projects Direct Impact on Exports, Revenue, and Trade Flow in the Poultry Sector
Eight meat processing plants in Rio Grande do Sul have been authorized to resume chicken exports to China after the General Administration of Customs of China lifted the restriction on January 20, a measure that had halted sales since 2024 and impacted state shipments and sector revenue.
Decision Ends Sanitary Restriction Adopted in 2024
The release occurred after the suspension of the blockade imposed in 2024, when Newcastle disease was detected in the Anta Gorda region.
The viral disease affects birds and interferes with international trade, leading to a temporary halt in exports from Rio Grande do Sul to the Chinese market.

The eggshell that almost everyone throws away is made up of about 95% calcium carbonate and can help enrich the soil when crushed, slowly releasing nutrients and being reused in home gardens and vegetable patches.

This farm in the United States does not use sunlight, does not use soil, and produces 500 times more food per square meter than traditional agriculture: the secret lies in 42,000 LEDs, hydroponics, and a system that recycles even the heat from the lamps.

The water that almost everyone throws away after cooking potatoes carries nutrients released during the preparation and can be reused to help in the development of plants when used correctly at the base of gardens and pots, at no additional cost and without changing the routine.

The sea water temperature rose from 28 to 34 degrees in Santa Catarina and killed up to 90% of the oysters: producers who planted over 1 million seeds lost practically everything and say that if it happens again, production is doomed to end.
The resumption again authorizes the shipment of poultry products from the state to China, restoring a trade flow deemed significant for the local production chain and the performance of Brazilian chicken exports.
Industries Authorized to Export Chicken to the Chinese Market
Among the authorized companies are BRF S.A., from Marau (SIF 2014), JBS Aves Ltda, from Montenegro (SIF 2032), JBS Aves Ltda, from Passo Fundo (SIF 922), and Agrosul Agroavícola Indústrial S/A, from São Sebastião do Caí (SIF 4017).
Also reauthorized were Companhia Minuano de Alimentos, from Lajeado (SIF 1661), Cooperativa Central Aurora Alimentos, from Erechim (SIF 68), BRF S.A., from Serafina Corrêa (SIF 103), and Cooperativa Languiru Ltda, from Westfalia (SIF 730).
Impact of the Blockade on Exports from Rio Grande do Sul
The absence of the Chinese market directly affected state performance in 2024. The blockade contributed to a decrease of about 1% in chicken shipments from Rio Grande do Sul, reducing the Chinese share in external sales.
Before the suspension, China accounted for almost 6% of chicken exports from Rio Grande do Sul. Part of this share was compensated by sales to other countries, but without fully restoring the volume previously allocated to the Chinese market.
Projections for Brazil and Strategic Importance of the Chinese Market
In 2024, Brazil exported 561 thousand tons of chicken meat to China, with revenue of US$ 1.288 billion. With the reopening to Rio Grande do Sul, the expectation is a growth of about 10% in 2026.
According to the Gaúcha Association of Poultry Farming, China is strategic due to its volume and geopolitical and commercial relevance. The entity emphasized that biosecurity should remain an non-negotiable pillar, with active surveillance, traceability, and a rapid response to sanitary emergencies.
