Ukraine: Poultry and Products Annual
Ukraine’s poultry meat production in 2018-19 is expected to increase as new hatcheries and processing facilities initiate production in 2018 and existing capacities become fully utilized. Although the second largest Ukrainian producer has experienced production difficulties, total domestic production has not been significantly affected. In 2018, the EU will become Ukraine’s largest export destination with over 30 percent of Ukraine’s exports share. Ukraine’s exports to the EU are expected to significantly exceed their EU import quotas. Egypt will drop from its position as a major export destination, while Iraq is expected to regain its position. Domestic poultry consumption will continue to increase only slightly, as incomes grow. Household chicken production will remain stable in 2018-19.
