Excerpt from Dairy, Livestock and Poultry: World Poultry Situation; August 1992 Despite declining production in the former Soviet Union and Eastern European countries, world total poultry meat production is forecast to increase about 4 percent in 1992. Growth in world poultry meat output will be fueled by increases in broiler meat production in China, Brazil, the ec, and the United States. Generally speaking, the major poultry meat producers are also the dominant poultry meat exporters. In 1991, the United States led the world in poultry meat exports, followed by France, the Netherlands, and Brazil. Thailand, which is not one of the world's leading producers, overtook Hungary to become the world's fifth largest exporter of poultry meat in 1991. On the import side, the major buyers of poultry meat were Germany, Japan, Hong' Kong, Saudi Arabia, and the fsu-12. With the exceptions of the esu-12 and Saudi Arabia, all the major poultry meat importers imported more poultry meat in 1991 than in 1990. With consumption of poultry meat continuing to rise in most countries, demand for poultry meat on the world market remains firm, and the level of poultry meat imports in the major importing countries is forecast to increase further in 1992.
