Poultry meat industry supply and demand scale continues to expand The proportion of duck meat market has declined

Poultry farming occupies an important position in my country's breeding production, and the output from 2017 to 2021 showed a stable growth trend. Data shows that in 2021, my country's poultry inventory reached 6.79 billion, basically the same as the same period last year; the output was 15.74 billion, a year-on-year increase of 1.1%.

Poultry is the second largest meat consumer product in my country, and the per capita poultry consumption of residents has gradually increased in recent years. According to data, chicken production in 2021 accounts for 66% of poultry meat; followed by duck meat, with production accounting for about 27%.

my country is a major duck meat producer. Affected by the African swine fever epidemic from 2018 to 2019, some pork consumption demand shifted to poultry meat, causing its consumption to increase significantly.

However, in the past two years, as the substitution effect gradually weakens, the industry has shifted from prosperity to sluggish, and the market share has declined. Data shows that the national commercial meat duck slaughtered in 2021 was about 3.501 billion, a year-on-year decline of 11.81%, and its share in the poultry meat market fell from 29% in 2014 to 27%.
