São Paulo- Exports of chicken in January reached 213,700 tons, up 14%, compared to January 2005. Even better news was that the revenue reached almost US$281 million, up 41.5%.

There was a large disparity in sales of whole chicken (which was down 6% in volume, and up only 19% in revenue) and chicken cuts (up 26.5% in volume and up 53% in revenue).

However, compared to December, there was actually a drop of 22% in revenue from chicken exports and 13% in volume.
