The Poultry Site reports that South Korea's 2025-26 HPAI season led to depopulation of about 11.3 million layers, 13.6% of the layer inventory, and about 400,000 broiler breeders. Korea imported 17 million hatching eggs from Europe to offset losses, and total chicken inventory rose 1.2% to 201 million in June 2026.
Korean layer losses and reliance on imports tighten local egg and chicken supply, which can lift Korean demand for imported feed and support regional feed-ingredient purchases.
