Global Export of Live Poultry by Country

The global export of live poultry saw Germany leading in 2023 with exports valued significantly higher than other countries. The Netherlands and France followed, with the United States and the United Kingdom completing the top five. Germany's exports grew by 2.41% year-on-year, with notable growth observed in Poland and Saudi Arabia. However, some countries like Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lebanon experienced downturns. Over the past five years, many countries averaged growth, with only a few experiencing declines due to fluctuating demand and supply chain disruptions.

Looking ahead, global trends worth watching include increasing demand for poultry due to shifting dietary preferences toward protein sources. Emerging markets in Asia and Africa could alter export dynamics as they bolster domestic poultry production. Climate change, trade policies, and disease outbreaks also remain critical factors influencing future trends in poultry exportation.
