United States Exports of Broiler Meat To World Total (2024-2025)

This chart compares U.S. broiler meat export values (in thousands) for the first six months of 2024 (red) and 2025 (green). In most months, 2025 exports are higher than 2024, particularly in February through April where the gap is more pronounced. By May and June, values for both years converge closer, with June nearly equal. For purchasers, the stronger 2025 export figures in early months may point to tighter domestic availability or upward pressure on prices if overseas demand remains high. Nutritionists could see this as a factor influencing ingredient costs in poultry feed formulations, as shifts in production priorities may alter supply chains. Global trade demand, especially from key importing regions, seems to be playing a role in supporting 2025 levels. By late spring, the narrowing difference suggests either stabilized demand abroad or stronger competition in export markets. Exchange rates, freight costs, and global poultry health dynamics may also be influencing these movements. Could this early 2025 export strength tighten domestic supplies and affect feed cost strategies? As export values flatten by May and June, is this a signal of seasonal balance, or the beginning of a shift in global demand patterns?
