EU-28: Poultry and Products Annual
The EU-28 broiler sector is expected to grow in 2016 and 2017, 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 2016 and 2017, despite the continuing Russian embargo, driven by booming exports of low-priced cuts, bone-in cuts, and mechanically deboned meat (MDM) to Sub-Sahara Africa and Asia.
