Strong domestic demand for chicken meat is underpinning poultry feed production in Brazil, despite a difficult year for exports.
The Brazilian feed industry was affected by the turmoil in the world economy last year, according to Ariovaldo Zani, CEO of the Brazilian feed industry association Sindiracoes, with total production falling 5% to 58.4 million tonnes in 2009, having enjoyed a 10% increase on year-earlier production in 2008.
