The global chicken meat market is experiencing a surge in prices due to increased demand, rising feed and food costs, and a decrease in chicken slaughter rates in the EU, South Korea, and Japan. Despite these challenges, worldwide production and exports are expected to remain steady in 2021. However, demand in China is declining as the pig population recovers and hog prices decrease. The banning of Brazilian chicken imports by Saudi Arabia may impact export volumes, but this will be balanced by increased supply from the U.S. and China. The report also highlights the impact of the bird flu on production in the EU, South Korea, and Japan, and the significant production volumes in the U.S., China, and Brazil.
