—Structural shift. China is expanding poultry exports of cuts like chicken breast, moving from a major buyer of Brazilian chicken to a direct competitor in third markets.

—Geographic pressure. China’s proximity to the Gulf states gives it a logistical advantage over Brazil in markets that are strategically important for Brazilian exporters.
