Analysis of the Situation of Broiler Market in 2003 and outlook
in 2004
The Chinese broiler market in 2003 had a trend of continuous
and stable growth. Due to the rise of husbandry cost, the
return of husbandry was lower than last year. The price of
chicken meat rose first and then declined. During the period
from January to October, the import of frozen chicken entrails
and chicken wing increased while the export of chicken had
declined by a big margin. In the foreign market, the production
and consumption of chicken meat had a continuous growth in
the world, but the increase extent had been narrowed. The
trade of chicken meat had increased slightly. The price at
the American chicken meat market had increased in an all-round
way. It is estimated that the price of chicken market will
be stable with slight increase; the import of chicken meat
will not increase greatly; and the export situation will change
for the better in 2004.
