United Arab Emirates: Poultry and Products Annual
Link to report:
The UAE’s chicken meat production is forecast to grow by 17 percent in 2025, supported by governmental initiatives such as feed subsidies and technological investments. Consumption is expected to rise by 6 percent due to population growth, increased consumer spending, and a thriving tourism sector. Imports will see a 4 percent increase with a significant surge in poultry purchases in early 2024, driven by regional geopolitical instability. Shipping disruptions in the Suez Canal, forcing shippers to reroute around the Cape of Good Hope, add further instability to trade dynamics.
