Falls recorded for quotations in the chicken market this Wednesday (24). According to the socioeconomic analyst at Epagri/Cepa, Alexandre Luis Giehl, this downward trend is not new. Even in Santa Catarina, according to him, frequent drops in the price of chicken meat have been noticed. In the case of wholesale, since November last year, and with more intensity since April and the first half of May. This is due to several reasons; firstly, the drop in production costs (corn and soybeans), and the fact that there has been stability in the price of other proteins (beef and pork).
“To sum up, for now we have no elements to say that the current drops in chicken meat prices are due to some indirect effect of the detection of the avian flu virus in wild birds”, he pointed out.
In São Paulo, according to Scot Consultoria, poultry on the farm dropped 1.96%, reaching R$ 5.00/kg, while poultry wholesale fell 2.17%, reaching R$ 5.87/kg .
In the case of live animals, São Paulo had no price reference. In Paraná, the price remained unchanged, at R$4.76/kg, in the same way as in Santa Catarina, fixed at R$4.37/kg.
According to information from Cepea/Esalq, referring to Tuesday (23), the price of the frozen bird dropped 0.61%, reaching R$ 6.53/kg, while the chilled bird depreciated 0.46%, closing at R$ 6.55/kg.
