“The egg sector has seen a significant increase in exports amid a reconfiguration of shipping flows that now places the U.S., Japan, and Mexico among the leading destinations of Brazilian products. Even with the suspensions resulting from the isolated outbreak of Avian Influenza, exports remained strong, demonstrating the confidence of markets in Brazil’s biosecurity,” said ABPA president Ricardo Santin in a statement.
