Not only is the nation ranked amongst the best three in poultry production worldwide, it is also the highest in per capita consumption at 104.5 lbs. (47.4kg) per year. C-Vale, a single of the biggest poultry cooperatives in Brazil, supplies considerably of the chicken that satisfies this ongoing demand.
