Poultry exports up by 40% in Q1

Poland's poultry exports outside the EU grew by 40 percent in Q1 year-on-year and stood at 41,000 tons, according to the Foundation of Assistance Programmes for Agriculture (FAMMU/FAPA). In total, EU member countries exported 322,220 tons of poultry, an increase of 3.4 percent y/y. Poland's share in EU poultry exports stood at 13 percent. The biggest recipients of European poultry were Benin, RSA, Saudi Arabia and Hong-Kong. Exports to Russia fell close to zero due to the embargo the country has imposed on European food imports.
