NextFin news, On Thursday, September 4, 2025, the European Union (EU) officially recognized Brazil as free from avian influenza, enabling the resumption of Brazilian chicken meat exports to the EU market. This decision was announced in Brussels, Belgium, following assessments by EU health authorities.
The recognition comes after Brazil demonstrated effective control and eradication of avian flu outbreaks that had previously led to import restrictions by the EU. The Brazilian Ministry of Agriculture confirmed the EU's decision, highlighting the country's compliance with international animal health standards.
The EU's move to lift the ban on Brazilian poultry imports is expected to restore a significant trade flow between Brazil and the EU, benefiting Brazilian poultry producers and exporters.
