China Considers Resuming Chicken Imports from Brazil Amid Supply Pressures
July 6, 2025 | Meatex News Desk
China is reportedly evaluating the resumption of chicken imports from Brazil, according to statements made by Brazil’s Agriculture Minister. The move comes as part of broader efforts to stabilise domestic meat supplies and strengthen trade ties with one of the world’s largest poultry exporters.
Background and Trade Context
- Brazil is a leading global supplier of poultry, and China has historically been one of its top markets.
- Imports were previously restricted due to sanitary concerns and regulatory reviews.
- The potential reopening of trade could significantly boost Brazil’s poultry sector and help China meet rising consumer demand.
Implications for Global Trade
- A resumption of imports would likely increase competition in the Asian poultry market, potentially affecting prices and supply chains across the region.
- It may also influence trade dynamics with other major exporters such as the U.S. and Thailand.
The Brazilian government remains optimistic, citing ongoing technical discussions and China’s growing need for high-quality protein sources.
