The lunchroom at the Seara chicken processing plant in Sidrolandia, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, could be a scene from Star Wars. Now a subsidiary of Brazilian meat giant JBS, the plant processes some 170,000 chickens per day and runs 24/7. Most of the processed chicken is exported, with legs going to Japan, wings to China, feet to Africa and China, and breasts to Europe and the Middle East, with the United Arab Emirates importing more Brazilian chicken meat than China. The rest is processed into animal feed and pet food. Brazil is the largest exporter of chicken meat in the world, shipping nearly 5 million tons of broilers in 2022.
