One study published by ABPA (Brazilian Animal Protein Association), together with associated agribusinesses, revealed that the Brazilian poultry companies are increasing more and more investments in renewable sources to boost production.
The research shows that seven out of ten companies in the sector have invested resources in clean sources in the last three years and are already planning future projects in this regard. Surprisingly, 56% of these companies They do not have subsidies for their projects.
The survey was based on the ISE (Business Sustainability Index) methodology of B3, which encompasses companies that represent around two-thirds of national poultry production.
“There is a strong culture of controlling the origin of the energy used in the sector, from end to end. Among the companies surveyed, there is no case of total lack of knowledge about its energy sources, which is an important indicator of how the sector understands its relationship with its supplies”, assesses Sula Alves, technical director at ABPA.
O study also draws attention to the high autonomy of the sector, since 75% from national poultry industries have full supply guarantee, which reduces the vulnerability of food production to fluctuations in the energy grid.
“It is not just about seeking a clean matrix, but also about building solutions that aim to generate energy through the transformation of the environment (poultry). This is a solid sign of how the sector works with a focus on sustainability in its complete tripod, social, economic and environmental”, said Ricardo Santin, president of ABPA.
Renewables generating records for the sector
According to ABPA, the andBrazilian exports in the poultry genetics sector (including day-old chicks and fertile eggs) ended in 2023 with a total of 26.4 thousand tons shipped – a record that exceeds the total exported in the same period of the previous year (15.6 thousand tons) by almost 70%.
A export revenue from the sector also broke a record in 2023, with US$ 240 million generated in the twelve months of last year, a result 34.2% higher than that obtained in 2022 (US$ 178.8 million).
O The sector's main export destination last year was Mexico, with 13.5 thousand tons imported, a number 72.7% higher than that recorded in 2022.
Next are Senegal, with 3.7 thousand tons (+11.7%); Paraguay, with 2.7 thousand tons (-2%); South Africa, with 2.3 thousand tons (no comparative records in 2022); and Peru, with 1.4 thousand tons (+838.8%).
