Mexico Bans Brazil Poultry Over Bird Flu Outbreak
Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

Mexico’s Agriculture Ministry announced an immediate suspension of all Brazilian poultry imports on Saturday, including chicken meat, fertile eggs, and live birds, following Brazil’s confirmation of its first H5N1 avian flu outbreak on a commercial farm.

The emergency measure aims to protect Mexico’s domestic poultry industry from potential contamination while global health authorities assess the situation.

The sweeping prohibition covers all poultry-derived commodities originating from Brazil, the world’s largest chicken exporter. Mexican officials emphasized the suspension as a necessary precaution against highly pathogenic avian influenza, despite Brazil’s assurances that properly cooked poultry products remain safe for consumption.

This decision had come after similar actions by China and other nations after Brazil’s Rio Grande do Sul outbreak was reported on Friday.

Why It Matters

As Brazil accounts for 35% of global chicken exports, the import suspension threatens to reshape international protein trade flows. Mexico imported over $300 million worth of Brazilian poultry last year, making this a significant blow to both nations’ agricultural trade relations.

Industry analysts have warned that the ban could temporarily drive up poultry prices in Mexico while Brazilian exporters rally around, trying to redirect shipments to alternative markets unaffected by the avian flu restrictions.

The Mexican poultry ban reflects growing global anxiety about H5N1 transmission following devastating outbreaks in the U.S. and Europe.

With Brazil’s $10 billion poultry industry now impacted, international attention turns to containment measures at the infected Vibra Foods supplier facility and whether other nations will follow Mexico’s lead in imposing precautionary trade barriers.
