Chicken meat quotations in Brazil decreased significantly in the second quarter of 2024, pressed by the record production in Brazil, according to a recent market report from Cepea. Not even the great performance of exports in that period supported the values.

Data from IBGE released in September indicate that chicken slaughters hit a record in the second quarter of 2024 – considering the series from IBGE, which has started in 1997. In that period, 1.6 billion animals were slaughtered, 1% more than the volume registered in the first quarter of 2024 and upping 3.2% compared to that in the same period last year.
