EU-28: Poultry and Products Annual
EU-28 broiler sector is expected to grow in 2014 and 2015, benefiting from slowly increasing demand, since it is less affected than other meats by the economic recession. Brazil and Thailand will remain the largest suppliers of broiler meat to the EU-28. EU-28 broiler meat exports are expected to decrease slightly in 2014, mainly due to the Russian embargo and increased South African tariffs on EU poultry meat, but should increase in 2015. However, the turkey sector in the EU-28 resumed its decline as both trade and consumption are expected to decrease.
