UTRECHT, Netherlands — According to RaboResearch’s recently published “World Poultry Map,” poultry trade flows have changed significantly since 2018 due to slower market growth, more trade restrictions, higher volatility, and the emergence of new players. Brazil has emerged as the main exporter, capturing 90 percent of global trade growth, with Thailand, China, Ukraine, and Russia also increasing their market presence. In the coming years, the market is expected to continue its slow growth trajectory, accompanied by persistent price volatility.
Between 2018 and 2023, global poultry meat trade grew by a modest 8 percent, or 1 million metric tons, Rabobank notes. . .
