Philippines: Poultry and Products Annual

Post forecasts higher chicken meat production in 2027, as poultry integrators and other commercial farms expand operations, improve production efficiency, and capture greater profit margins from higher value-added products. Production is further supported by the local hog sector's continued but incomplete recovery from African swine fever. Post forecasts higher 2027 chicken meat consumption, driven by population growth, chicken's affordability relative to other animal protein options, and wide availability of chicken meat products. Additionally, Post forecasts higher 2027 chicken meat imports amid rising supply needs of the food manufacturing and food service industries. Brazil is poised to expand its market share further on the strength of its price competitiveness.
