Marythur Food Exports supplies premium frozen whole chickens from Brazil to importers, wholesalers, and distributors across Vanuatu. Our whole chickens are sourced from SIF-certified, GACC-registered processing plants operated by BRF, SEARA, and COOPAVEL — Brazil's leading poultry producers with proven export track records to Pacific Island markets.

Product Overview

The Frozen Whole Chicken is a Grade A product, individually wrapped in polyethylene bags, packed in sturdy master cartons and blast frozen to maintain peak freshness. Each bird is processed without giblets, with intact skin free of bruising or discoloration. Available in the 800g–1,400g weight range, these whole chickens are suited to Vanuatu's wholesale, retail, and food service markets.

Why Brazilian Chicken for Vanuatu?

Vanuatu depends on imported protein to meet domestic food demand, particularly for poultry. Brazil — the world's largest chicken exporter — provides Vanuatu importers with a competitive, reliable source of frozen whole chickens. Brazilian poultry offers consistent sizing, quality, and year-round supply at pricing that supports Vanuatu's wholesale and retail distribution channels. Trade data confirms Brazil as an established supplier of frozen whole chickens to Vanuatu, with a direct commercial relationship already in place.

Quality & Food Safety

All whole chickens undergo rigorous quality control including antibiotic residue testing, microbiological screening (Salmonella, Listeria), and physical inspection at SIF-certified facilities. Processing plants maintain HACCP certification and operate under Brazil's Federal Inspection Service. Every lot is fully traceable from farm to finished product.

Wholesale & Retail Distribution

Frozen whole chickens are the most versatile and widely demanded poultry format in Vanuatu, serving supermarket retail, wholesale distribution to stores across Efate and the outer islands, restaurants, hotels, and institutional food service. The individually wrapped format ensures hygienic handling and extended shelf life across Vanuatu's warm-climate supply chain.

Logistics & Shipping to Vanuatu

Shipments depart from Santos or Paranaguá in 40ft reefer containers at -18°C. Transit to Port Vila averages 38–45 days and to Luganville (Santo) 40–48 days, typically via transshipment through Brisbane or Auckland. Each container holds approximately 27 MT on standard pallets. GPS temperature monitoring is maintained throughout the voyage.
