EU-28: Poultry and Products Annual
The EU-28 broiler sector is expected to grow in 2015 and 2016, benefiting from slowly increasing demand, since it has been less affected than other meats by the economic downturn in Europe. Brazil and Thailand will remain the largest suppliers of broiler meat to the EU-28, with Ukraine becoming the third largest supplier after being granted a TRQ for broiler meat. EU-28 broiler meat exports are expected to increase in 2015 and 2016, despite the Russian embargo and increased South African tariffs on EU poultry meat, because of booming exports of low-priced cuts, bone-in cuts and mechanically deboned meat (MDM) to Sub-Sahara Africa and Asia.
