Chicken in demand, future remains uncertain
Sri Lanka’s chicken industry is gearing to meet growing demand already up by 15% since last year but uncertainty prevails as to whether any surge in demand is expected with income levels seen rising.
Sri Lanka’s per capita is projected to increase contributing to a relative increase in chicken consumption set to go up from the current 5.5 kgs per person annually.

However, consumption levels are being reviewed by the industry to ascertain whether local companies will be able to meet the growing demand. Manufacturers in Colombo state it is possible to do so irrespective of the recently imported chicken by the government. Currently there is an excess stock of chicken in the market following imports by the government last year, due to the sudden surge in demand that went up by 15% locally and in addition to increased tourist arrivals in the country.

Animal Production and Health Department Director General Kumara de Silva said they did not expect any drastic increase in demand. The main objective of the government is to become self sufficient in chicken production by 2016 with the demand set to go up to 10 kg per person per year.
