EU-28: Poultry and Products Annual
The EU-28 chicken industry is expected to grow in 2019 and 2020, driven by a slow but steady increase in domestic demand and expanding exports. Thailand is the largest supplier of chicken meat to the EU28, passing Brazil that had 20 plants delisted for salmonella issues in 2018. Ukraine is now the third largest supplier because it was granted a TRQ for chicken meat. EU-28 chicken meat exports are expected to increase in 2019 and 2020 driven by a large increase in exports of low-priced dark meat cuts, bone-in cuts and mechanically deboned meat (MDM) to Sub-Saharan Africa and Southeast Asia.
