BRASILIA – Brazil’s poultry exports fell in both value and volume in May from a year earlier, government data showed on Thursday, as trade restrictions following a bird flu case weighed on the sector.

Herlon Brandao, director of Statistics and Foreign Trade Studies at the Ministry of Development, Industry, Trade and Services, said at a press conference that poultry exports had been on the rise before the outbreak, the first on a commercial farm in Brazil.

In May, poultry exports fell 12.9% to $655 million, while volumes declined 14.4% to about 363,100 metric tons.
