Mexican poultry sector trade competition

Overview

Mexican poultry producers are reporting severe economic strain caused by a significant increase in chicken breast imports from Brazil. According to the National Customs Agency of Mexico (ANAM), imports grew from roughly 90,000 tons in 2022 to over 196,000 tons in 2025.

The National Union of Poultry Farmers (UNA) estimates that the sector suffered losses exceeding 27 billion pesos between August 2025 and August 2026. Lorenzo Martín, president of the UNA, stated that every 1,000 tons of imported meat results in the loss of approximately four million chickens and 280 jobs.

Producers fear that European Union restrictions on Brazilian poultry may cause products to be redirected to Mexico. In response, the UNA has called on the federal government to remove tariff exemptions for Brazilian chicken breast and implement import quotas to protect domestic stability and rural employment.
