United Arab Emirates: Poultry and Products Annual

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)

UAE chicken meat imports are expected to drop by 2 percent in 2018 due to slower economic growth, implementation of a 5 percent value-added tax (VAT), and lack of liquidity in the market. Imports are likely to rebound slowly in 2019 to reach 415,000 MT as the UAE accelerates preparations for World Expo 2020. UAE domestic chicken production in 2019 is expected to rise slightly, up 4 percent from 2018 with one major producer increasing their operational capacity and adding production lines.
