US EditionChina Issues Countrywide Ban on Brazilian Poultry Imports | Honolulu Star-Advertiser
- On May 29, 2025, China announced a complete prohibition on importing poultry and related products from Brazil, both by direct shipments and indirect means, in response to an avian influenza outbreak.
- The ban followed the confirmation of highly pathogenic avian influenza on May 16 at a commercial poultry farm in Montenegro, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil.
- As the top global supplier of chicken meat, a South American country accounts for roughly 35% of worldwide poultry exports and sends over 10% of its products to the Chinese market each year.
- The suspended trade, exceeding US$1 billion in value, covers exports to both China and the European Union and requires that all relevant Brazilian products and waste undergo disinfestation procedures.
- The ban is expected to significantly impact Brazilian farmers and major importers, although Brazil and China aim to strengthen relations to potentially ease trade tensions.
