China to boost global poultry industry
China is expected to be the most significant contributor to the growth of the poultry industry, despite costlier feed prices.
Globally, poultry producers will see modest growth of most key indicators; but will continue to be challenged by feed costs, albeit at a lower rate than previous years.
Richard Brown commented that the industry is facing huge challenges adjusting to the new feed cost plateau from 2007 and has moved into 2013 on a weaker footing, although China is showing strong consumption growth.
