China: Poultry and Products Semi-Annual
Link to report:
Market access for U.S. poultry remains constrained as the People's Republic of China (PRC) is not implementing relevant annexes for poultry trade specified in the Economic and Trade Agreement (i.e., Phase One Agreement). Post maintains its 2025 forecast for slightly higher chicken meat production and consumption compared to 2024. Expansion in white broiler production is happening at a slower rate than previously estimated. Post forecasts that chicken product imports in 2025 will remain lower than in 2024, mainly due to increased domestic production and flat consumption. Post expects demand for U.S. chicken paws to remain stable in 2025 even with higher domestic supplies and despite HPAI-related restrictions limiting imports.
