In 2023, the import of frozen whole fowls to the UK reached approximately 18.9 million kilograms. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a gradual decline, with imports expected to decrease from 18.772 million kilograms in 2024 to 18.358 million kilograms by 2028. The year-on-year percentage changes highlight a steady, albeit minor, reduction each year.
Key trends moving forward include:
- Monitoring changes in UK agricultural policy and trade agreements post-Brexit.
- Assessing impacts of global poultry supply chain shifts due to climate change and disease outbreak prevention measures.
- Evaluating consumer demand dynamics influenced by emerging alternative protein sources.
