Brazil poultry exports should recover in 2013 - industry

Brazil's chicken meat exports should increase by about 3 percent this year after falling in 2012 due to high feed costs, the country's poultry association, Ubabef, said on Tuesday.

The association expects better demand from countries in Asia and Africa and a greater emphasis on processed foods to raise the value of sales and to compensate for high grain prices in the past year in the world's top chicken meat exporter.
