GLOBAL - This is a weekly report by the USDA's Agricultural Marketing Service (AMS), looking at international developments concerning the poultry industry. This week's review looks at world broiler exports and factors affecting the US broiler and turkey outlook for this year.
World broiler exports
In 2011, broiler exports by major countries are predicted to total 8,913,000 tons. This would be a 1.4 per cent increase over 2010, which was 8,793,000 tons. This year, Brazil is predicted to export 3,310,000 metric tons of broilers and will again be the world's largest broiler exporter. The United States will be the second largest broiler exporter with a volume of 2,971,000 tons. The predicted level of 8,913,000 tons of broiler exports in 2011 would be a 20.8 per cent increase over 2007 levels of 7,381,000 tons. The 2011 forecasts were revised recently to lower values. The revision was primarily due to a 38 per cent reduction in the Russian tariff quota volume to 375,000 metric tons. Forecasts were also revised down due to reduced market access in China.
