South Korean industry sources say chicken price increases stem from supply shortages after highly pathogenic avian influenza led to about 440,000 breeding hens being culled over winter 2025/2026, roughly 3.5 times the prior year. The culling cut about 5% of breeder hens, reducing broiler chick and chicken meat output.
Reduced breeder flocks tighten broiler supply, supporting chicken prices and potentially raising demand for substitute proteins in feed-linked markets. Continued disease pressure keeps the supply outlook constrained.
