Eastern European poultry market offers growth potential

摘要

Poland and Romania occupy a fantastic place on the poultry map. Both are large countries with excellent resources and with fantastic potential for growth. There are a number of reasons why these areas are so full of potential for poultry producers.Location: Romania joined the European Union in 2007, and has the seventh largest population in the Eurozone at 21.5 million. However, poultry consumption is just 18kg per head (compared to a UK average of 27kg per head) so there is a real opportunity forthe poultry industry to increasingly provide low-cost, high-protein meat to the Romanian market and beyond. Poland is a great place to build an export market into Western Europe and it also has great links into the huge Eastern markets, too, being within 24 hours'travel of a large number of countries.
