EU-28: Poultry and Products Semi-annual
The EU-28 broiler meat production is expected to increase in 2016. Consumers have been switching from other meats to broiler meat (cheaper and more convenient), due to difficult economic situation in the EU-28 region, driving increases in domestic poultry consumption. EU-28 broiler meat imports are still forecast to remain flat in 2016 with lower imports from Brazil and higher imports from Ukraine. EU-28 broiler meat exports in 2016 are expected to increase slightly despite lower exports to South Africa, because of a resumption of exports of whole broilers (mostly from France) to Saudi Arabia and parts to new markets, such as the Philippines and Ukraine.
