Canada: Poultry and Products Annual
In 2016, following an exceptional year of nearly 3.5 percent growth in 2015, the poultry sector is expected to scale back and return to its longer term trend production. Broiler meat production is forecast to expand 2 percent in 2016, as chicken continues to be competitive and an attractive substitute to pricier beef. The chicken TRQ is projected to reach 83,000 metric tons in 2016, from an estimated level of 80,500 metric tons in 2015. For 2016 Canadian exports of broiler meat are estimated at 140,000 MT and imports at 165,000 MT.
