First beef and now chicken and pork. Russia, struggling after it enforced food embargoes on European Union countries, is ramping up its chicken imports from Brazil, registering a massive 291 percent year-over-year increase in imports of the white meat in September.
According to data released by the Brazilian Association for Animal Protein, or ABPA, Brazilian chicken exporters sold 20,900 metric tons of chicken to Russia in September, and further increases are forecast before the end of the year.
