Brazilian tilapia exports climbed 35 percent in the first six months of 2021, helped by federal tax breaks on feed and other raw materials, US market still partially inaccessible by Chinese suppliers, and a boom in demand from China.
While precise volume figures are being still compiled, the development was confirmed by Francisco Medeiros, president of aquaculture producers trade body Peixe BR.
"We should continue like this throughout the second half until the end of the year," Medeiros told the Globo Rural TV channel.
