Structural changes in the Egyptian poultry industry

摘要

The first signs of revival for the Egyptian poultry industry were seen at Agrena 2009, which was held from 2-4 July in Cairo, Egypt. Following two dramatic years of having to deal with the avian influenza virus, as well as extremely high feed prices,new initiatives have come from the larger integrations to increase production and sales of eggs and poultry meat. Every year in the first week of July, poultry producers throughout the Middle East and North Africa plan a trip to Cairo to visit Agrena, the annual poultry and livestock show for the region. This year, some 50,000 visitors from all over the region came to meet, talk about business and attend the exhibition. The 3-day exhibition extended over four halls of the Cairo International ConferenceCentre, filled by 198 stands representing 485 national and international poultry, feed and processing equipment companies.
