Brazil Poultry Feed Market - Strategic Insights and Forecasts (2025-2030)

Brazil’s poultry feed market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.50% over the forecast period, reaching USD 12.34 billion by 2030, increasing from USD 10.39 billion in 2025.

Poultry feeds are a form of livestock feed, which are designed for consumption by poultry animals, which includes chickens, broilers, turkeys, and geese among others. The growth in the total livestock population in the nation is expected to increase the market during the estimated period. The population of livestock, which majorly includes cattle, swine, pork, and poultry, in the agricultural sector of the nation witnessed a major growth during the past few years. The rising domestic human consumption of poultry meat and other products is also among the key factors propelling the growth of the poultry feed market in the nation during the forecasted timeline. The US Department of Agriculture, in its report, stated that in Brazil, the total human consumption of chicken meat was recorded at 10,023 thousand MT in 2022, which surged to 10,126 thousand MT in 2024.

The growing consumption of poultry products, which includes meat and eggs, is among the key factors propelling the growth of the Brazil poultry feed market. The introduction of key governmental policies and initiatives in the domestic poultry market is also expected to boost the growth of the market during the forecasted timeline.

Brazil Poultry Feed Market Growth Drivers:

• Increasing production of chicken and broiler meat

The rising production of chicken meat in the Brazilian market is among the major factors propelling the growth of poultry feed during the forecasted timeline. The production of chicken meat witnessed a major growth, majorly with the increasing consumption of meat and poultry products in the nation.

The US Department of Agriculture, in its report, stated that in Brazil, the domestic consumption of chicken meat witnessed a major growth from 10,023 thousand MT in 2022, to 10,126 thousand MT in 2024. The agency further stated that in the nation, the production of chicken meat grew significantly. The agency stated that in 2022, the total production of chicken meat in the nation was recorded at 14,465 thousand MT, which surged to 14,900 thousand MT in 2022, and 15,050 thousand MT in 2023.

The Brazil broiler poultry feed market is significantly driven by the increasing demand for poultry meat, both domestically and for export. As one of the world’s largest producers and exporters of poultry, Brazil benefits from rising global consumption, particularly in emerging markets like China and the Middle East. This increased demand for broiler meat has resulted in a steady and efficient supply of poultry feed to support large-scale poultry production. Increasing consumption of poultry in the domestic market in Brazil, together with the export market, fuels the demand for high-quality feed to meet the targets of production.

According to Sindirações, which is the National Union for Animal Feed Industry, there is expected growth in the feed production output of Brazil. In 2024, growth reached 2.4 percent. The layer and broiler categories are seen with growth prospects in feed consumption being 6.5 percent and 1.8 percent, respectively. Among both of these categories, corn tops the list as a macro ingredient followed by soybean meal.

Improvements in broiler breeding and performance have also significantly driven the poultry feed market. High-performance broilers, bred specifically for faster growth and better feed conversion efficiency, increasingly contribute to high demand for these specialized feed formulations. Such specialized broilers grow very fast with high productivity but require nutrient-rich feed to nourish their rapidly growing bodies. The increased use of feed additives, such as enzymes, amino acids, and probiotics, which enhance growth and health, is increasing the market because poultry producers strive to optimize feed efficiency and meet performance goals.

• Growing utilization of soya in poultry feed

Use of soy as a prime raw material largely drives the Brazil poultry feed market because of several factors affecting both the supply and demand for poultry feed. Soybeans are a leading source of protein in poultry feed since they contain good-quality protein and an amino acid profile that promotes growth and productivity in broilers. Due to the fact that Brazil is one of the world's largest producers and exporters of soybeans, the country has access to this significant raw material, and the competition for pricing ensures a consistent supply of low-cost feedstuff to the poultry producers.

With the surging demand domestically as well as abroad for poultry meat, mostly on export to regions like the Middle East, China, and Europe, its necessity for first-quality poultry feed keeps increasing too. Since the source of the majority of proteins is soybean, their contributions to that ascending demand are significant. The use of soy ensures that poultry producers can supply nutritious, high-quality meat while maintaining cost-efficiency in feed production. For instance, WASDE forecasted MY 2024/25 soybean production at 169 MMT, up 10 percent from the MY2023/24 crop of 153 MMT in Brazil. The country therefore remains the world's largest soybean producer.

Brazil Poultry Feed Market Key Developments:

• In January 2024, JBS, a global leader in feed and animal nutrition, invested US$570 million for the launch of three new feed factories, which is aimed to boost the growth of Seara.

• In November 2023, ADM in Brazil announced a renewal agricultural program focused on soil health and biodiversity and aims to improve productive farm output to further advance sustainability agriculture methods. By 2027, the program aims to cover 120,000 hectares and assist farmers in raising yields while lowering environmental effects including greenhouse gas and water use emissions. This aligns with ADM's dedication to sustainability and satisfying consumer demand for goods with reduced carbon emissions 3.
