EU-28: Poultry and Products Semi-annual
EU-28 poultry broiler meat production is expected to increase slightly again in 2017 driven by domestic demand. Consumers have been switching to broiler meat from other types of meat because it is less expensive and because of ease in preparation. In spite of increases in production, EU-28 broiler meat imports are forecast to slightly grow in 2017. EU-28 broiler meat exports in 2017 are expected to decrease significantly due to HPAI related embargoes set by major EU-28 customers such as South Africa and Philippines.
