Egypt poultry imports from Brazil up by 40% y-o-y in 1H2017

Egypt’s poultry imports from Brazil rose 40% year-on-year in 1H2017 to 76k tons, according to data from the Brazilian Association of Animal Protein that ran in the Brazilian-Arab News Agency. The increase in imports is partly driven by the “favorable costs of the Brazilian product.” Egypt is the only Arab country to see an increase in Brazilian exports.
