100,000 tons of chicken breasts for Germany



According to research by Francisco Mari (EED), Brazil exported 100,000 tons annually at present chicken breasts to Germany. Reason, the change of eating habits in Germany. The fillets are preferred and eaten for the rest of the chicken, there is no use anymore. Assuming that an average chicken weighs 1.5 kg, for the 100,000 t chicken breasts to 500 million chickens are slaughtered. What happens to the rest of the chicken?

A part of this "surplus" is deep frozen and exported to Africa ends up on the local markets. Often the meat is actually become unfit for human consumption, as the cold chain is unreliable. Nevertheless, it is still sold. The prices are lower than those of the local market. At these prices, the farmers in Africa does not produce a chicken. The result is that for example in Cameroon within five years 100 000 producers of chicken meat have gone bankrupt. Many have become unemployed. Families have lost their income must go hungry and the children can not go to school.



this context of agricultural exports and the loss of food sovereignty in the importing countries is an event EED pursued at the World Social Forum. "We are people who have a dignity! We have a right to justice! Please stop sending us your flesh attached "- then the interjection of a visitor from Africa during the event. That this is not so easy to put an audience in Brazil clear: there are often small-scale producers who are committed to deliver the chicken meat to the export companies and are in debt. They must respect their obligations and have to leave the prices at which they dictate supply. For this cycle, they can not get off easily.

three options in the event could still must

African countries have the right to be allowed to protect their markets from import duties (such as Japan protects with a 400% import duty on rice production in their own country);
• abandonment of the exclusive consumption of chicken breast;: are shown
• It takes laws in the importing countries that attract the exporters for selling rotten meat to account.

Many young people are attending the World Social Forum. Some of them stay in a large tent camp. Under these climatic conditions, the heat, the tropical downpours and the high humidity they have my respect and my sympathy!
