Among the main export destinations, China remained the largest importer, having purchased 46.3 thousand tonnes in November 2024, a 17% increase compared to the same period last year. Other key destinations included:

Chicken meat exports have risen steadily over the past three months and are on track to meet the sector’s positive forecasts for 2024.”
