Released: Aug 29 2006 EU-25  | Annual   E36108 Highlight: EU broiler production in 2006 is decreasing as a consequence of the Avian Flu (AI) impact. Chicken imports are however increasing in 2006 as a consequence of the outcome of the WTO "salted poultry" case. Broiler exports in 2006 decrease because of decreased demand and a temporary ban on French exports as a result of an AI outbreak. Consumption is only slightly down overall, but regional defferences are large between the South and the North of Europe. The forecast for 2007 is a partial recovery of chicken production, exports and consumption. Imports are forecast to further increase. The EU turkey situation is similar, with decreased production, decreased exports and decreased consumption in 2006 because of AI. Imports are increasing too. The difference is that turkey markets are not expected to recover, but rather continue their long-time decline.
