On the 10th, the World Chicken Day was celebrated. The date was established in 2012 by the International Poultry Council (IPC) and it’s celebrated by the 30 member countries. Each year, this protein, one of the most consumed in the world, gains more importance, with an increase in production, commercialization, and consumption. In Brazil, for example, this is the most consumed meat, present in 94% of homes.
Today, of all exports by Garra, 50% is represented by chicken. Brazil, the United States, Russia, Argentina, Poland, and Italy are the origins, and the main destinations are the Middle East and Asia.
“This was a celebration week for the sector, and at Garra, we also have reasons to celebrate. With reliable suppliers in strategic places around the world and regular offers, we can serve different markets with the quality desired by consumers. Even at a time of reduced world supply, Garra is prepared to find the best deal for customers”, says Fábio Bonassi, manager of white proteins at Garra International.
