The potential of exporting more than 600 thousand tons of chicken to target markets

According to the Young Journalists’ Club, Habib Asdalehnejad, an expert in the poultry industry and the former CEO of the Poultry Farmers’ Union, said: According to statistics, the country needs 7,500 tons of chicken meat per day, equivalent to 220,000 to 230,000 tons of chicken meat per month, which is equivalent to 130 million pieces of chicken per month. The hatching of 150 million pieces is doubtful because due to several reasons, including the lack of chickens, it is not possible to supply this amount through imports, and the second issue is that if the monthly hatching of 140 to 150 million pieces is realized, there is no market for this volume of production.
Stating that several factors in chicken export should be observed, Esdaleh Nejad added: The first factor for export is the reduction of the finished production price, and always making decisions on the creation of the hour and the export tariff should be eliminated so that the planning for continuous export is not challenged. There are statistics of the production capacity of more than 3 million tons of chicken in the country, if the potentials are used properly, it is possible to export more than 600 thousand tons of chicken to the target markets.
According to the hatching of the recent months, the chicken market is stable and calm, so that despite the past years, not only do we no longer need to import to provide strategic reserves and regulate the domestic market, but since the end of last year, the export of chicken has stopped. After 25 to 26 years, it was put on the agenda that it is hoped that by applying the necessary support and proper planning, continuous and stable exports will be pursued.
