The article highlights the concerns of Dariusz Goszczyński, the President of the National Poultry Council of Poland, regarding the impact of Ukrainian poultry exports on the EU market. He explains that the current export limit of 137 thousand tons has helped maintain market stability until 2021 but is hoping for a return to the previous limit of 90 thousand tons to further stabilize the market.
The article also brings attention to the dominant position of the MHP agricultural holding in Ukrainian poultry exports to the EU, accounting for over two-thirds of the exports. This market dominance, coupled with lower production costs, provides Ukrainian producers with a competitive edge, potentially putting Polish manufacturers under price pressure. Despite the challenges of price competition, Goszczyński believes that Polish manufacturers can still compete if they can implement higher animal welfare standards and sustainable production practices.
