# EU poultry prices pull back as bird migration starts

> EU poultry output is running 4.4% ahead of last year and prices have fallen from 2026 highs as summer demand ends. Imports rose 6.1% in 2026, with Brazil and Ukraine supplying more, and Europe has reported 146 Newcastle disease outbreaks this year.

## Why it matters

Rising EU supply and imports are pushing poultry prices lower, weakening demand for feed ingredients. Newcastle disease outbreaks in major producing countries are an upside risk that could tighten supply.
