By: After some decline in recent years, EU poultry exports are expected to regain momentum in the coming years, according to the EU Agricultural Outlook report (2024-2035).
In line with increased production, exports will grow slowly by 0.8% per year between last 3-year average and 2035, reaching a level of more than 2 million t. EU exports are expected to remain strong to the UK and thanks to increasing demand from Sub-Saharan Africa and some Asian countries. The EU is expecting rising demand for foodservice supply and food processing from poultry imports.
In addition, the duty-free quota-free agreement with Ukraine (valid until June 2025) has led to a significant increase in imports.
By 2035, imports are likely to have increased by a magnitude of 0.9% per year compared to last 3-year average, to a level of 904 000 t.
