# Poland stays the swing factor for EU chicken this autumn

> EU chicken output has grown but become more volatile, with Polish production about 20% lower in July at roughly 200,000 tonnes versus 250,000 a year earlier. Output has since stabilised, and Vesper expects Polish prices to soften further in the near term, while bird flu and Newcastle disease remain contained.

## Why it matters

The July supply gap has largely worked through, so softer Polish prices point to weaker EU chicken prices unless new disruption emerges.
