China, Peoples Republic of: Poultry and Products. Annual Report 2008. GAIN Report Number CH8073

摘要

On July 1, 2008, China lifted its poultry ban on Connecticut, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Nebraska. Imports from these states were suspended several years ago because of outbreaks of low pathogenic avian influenza. The ban on New York State was officially lifted on August 24, 2008. Lifting of these bans will provide more opportunities for U.S. exports to China. China's broiler production in 2009 is forecast to increase eight percent to 13.7 MMT. Broiler imports in 2009 are forecast at the same level as 2008. Broiler exports are forecast to recover three percent to 283,000 MT from the previous year's 23 percent decline.
