Gross operating revenues from poultry in the domestic market increased 11.9% to R$624.3 million primarily due to lower supplies in the domestic market that led to increased average selling prices, which were partially offset by a 0.3% decrease in sales volumes sold in the domestic market to 131.7 thousand tons in 2008, with the diversion of poultry production to the international market. This segment represented 9.4% of total domestic gross operating revenues, a slight decrease from the prior year, when it was 10.5%. The share of poultry as a percentage of total sales volume in 2008 in the domestic market was approximately 11.8%.
