China: Poultry and Products Annual

FAS China forecasts chicken meat production will reach 19.0 MMT in 2027, driven by white broiler expansion, as large integrated companies continue investing in new capacity. Higher domestic production is outpacing demand growth, pushing imports lower while exports surge - China's chicken meat exports by volume rose 51 percent year-on-year during January-May 2026, reaching 546,000 MT. Post raised its 2026 production and export estimates and lowered its 2026 import estimate based on January-June 2026 trade data. Following the May 2026 presidential summit in Beijing, China restored poultry market access for 17 U.S. states based on HPAI status, with the near-term impact on U.S. poultry exports to China is expected to be limited.
