Philippines: Poultry and Products Annual

FAS Manila forecasts 2025 chicken meat imports to grow slightly, reaching 480,000 MT as demand continues to outpace domestic supply. Chicken meat production in 2025 is expected to increase at 1.63 MMT ready-to-cook (RTC), up by about 4 percent year-on-year. This expansion will be supported by a decline in feed costs, fewer areas affected by the highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), and adverse impacts of African swine fever (ASF) on pork production. However, challenges such as the tight supply of day-old-chicks will temper the growth of chicken meat production. FAS Manila estimates 2025 consumption of chicken meat at 2.11 MMT RTC, buoyed by economic and population growth, slower inflation, and the prevalence of ASF.
