Monitoring covering 15 years of exports – 2007 to 2021 – suggests that it is not the month of January that we will experience fewer shipments of frango meat. In the average of 15 years, the volume recorded in January corresponds to 7.23% of the annual total, while the record occurred no more than July, with 9.06% two annual shipments.

Naturally, exports do not have mathematical performance: they depend on moments, especially economic ones. But I assume that in 2022 we will accompany the average two last 15 years, the monthly results will be, approximately, those projected in the graph below.

The projection is restricted to raw frango meat – cuts and whole product. And it indicates, for the year, a volume close to 4.4 million tons, about 3.5% more than or exported in 2021.

But if we also consider the shipments of salted frango meat and two industrialized frango meats, the annual total can reach and exceed 4,650 thousand tons, since the product in nature corresponds (average of 2021) to 94% two sector shipments. In this case, the annual increase – considering the four main exported items – would be greater than 4%.

It is interesting to note that the volume shipped in the month of January 2022 – 317.7 thousand tons of natural product – corresponds to the second best result recorded in the month of January. If the performance is maintained, the numbers now projected could be exceeded. The problems – especially sanitary – faced by other exporting countries apontam nessa address.
