The possibility of increasing chicken exports

The possibility of increasing chicken exports

  According to Tasnim, head of the country’s veterinary organization, Mojtaba Nowrozi said: The need of neighboring countries for red meat is 2.6 million tons per year, and we can supply 300,000 tons of it.
The head of the country’s veterinary organization stated: There are 3.6 chicken breeding periods per year, and if this number increases to 4 periods, 170 million chickens will be produced in the country, and we have to export the surplus.
Nowrozi added: If we can produce chickens for hatching in 6 periods a year and send the weight of chickens to the slaughterhouse in half, there is even the possibility that we can export one million tons of surplus production per year.
He clarified: Nimche chicken is sent to the slaughterhouse for 37 to 40 days, which has a better taste compared to large chickens, and ultimately the amount of production in the country will increase.
The head of the country’s veterinary organization said: “The state of egg production in the country is reasonable, as 136,500 tons of surplus production was exported last year.”
In response to another question from Tasnim reporter regarding whether there is a plan to increase the export of chicken production in the country or whether there is a plan to increase the export of this product, Noroozi said: The duty to decide on the export or increase the export of chicken and eggs is with the Ministry of Agricultural Jihad. And we only comment on the possibility and capacities of production in the country.
He added: Nevertheless, my personal opinion is that production in the country should be done with the aim of export.
