SAO PAULO, Aug 1 (Reuters) - Chicken production in
Brazil, the world's top supplier, is expected to grow by up to
1.8% this year and reach as much as 15.1 million metric tons,
meat lobby ABPA, which represents processors including JBS and
BRF, said on Thursday. 
    Brazilian chicken exports are likewise projected to rise by
as much as 2.2%, to 5.25 million tons if the most optimistic
projection is confirmed, even after a recent outbreak of
Newcastle disease in southern Brazil, which triggered temporary
trade bans.
