China: Poultry and Products Semi-Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   CH2023-0020

The People’s Republic of China decision to end COVID restrictions is expected to bolster economic activity which will facilitate food service business and improve demand for certain chicken meat products in 2023. Policy measures limiting imports of poultry products and genetics due to the global Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza pandemic will continue to impact the poultry sector. China’s supply and distribution is expected to manifest little overall change though shifts within the supply and demand situation will continue.
