Amid recent intensified fluctuations in China's A-share market, the poultry sector has bucked the trend, showcasing the robust development momentum of China's poultry industry. On April 7th, leading poultry stocks including Xiaoming Shares and Xiangjia Shares surged by the daily limit, while Yike Food and other enterprises also recorded significant gains, reflecting strong market confidence in China's poultry industry chain. The Food Exhibition will offer more information about import and export.

Accelerated Progress in Industrial Self-Sufficiency

Latest statistics reveal that China's poultry meat imports have decreased from 1.5349 million tons in 2020 to 931,800 tons in 2024, marking a 28% reduction. Notably, imports from the United States now account for less than 10% of total imports, with U.S. poultry constituting merely 6.44% of total imports in the first two months of 2025. This significant shift highlights the continuous enhancement of China's domestic poultry supply capacity.

Coordinated Development Across Industry Chain Segments

China's poultry industry has established a comprehensive closed-loop system:

1. Upstream breeding stock: Major enterprises have achieved import channel diversification. Yisheng Livestock, for instance, recently introduced high-quality breeding stock from France, ensuring stable supply at the industry's source.

2. Midstream farming: Large-scale and standardized production has significantly improved production efficiency.

3. Downstream processing: Enterprises continue to optimize product portfolios to meet diversified consumer demands.

Effective Market Regulation Mechanisms

Facing recent changes in international agricultural trade conditions, China's poultry market has demonstrated excellent self-regulating capacity. Taking chicken paws as an example, despite price fluctuations in imports, ample domestic supply has effectively stabilized market prices. Industry experts note that sufficient domestic poultry inventories have maintained market equilibrium, with price trends primarily influenced by seasonal factors.

Ongoing Optimization of Feed Cost Management

Regarding feed ingredients, the industry has effectively responded to international market volatility through formula optimization and diversified procurement channels. Data indicates that although prices of soybean meal and other raw materials have risen, overall breeding costs remain within reasonable ranges through measures like improved feed conversion efficiency.

Promising Future Development Prospects

The Food Exhibition notes that with rising consumer demand driven by consumption upgrades and food service industry recovery, poultry consumption continues to grow. Industry insiders predict that supported by industrial policies and market demand, China's poultry industry will maintain steady growth momentum, with its competitiveness expected to reach new heights.
