# Poultry Markets Strong but Face Headwinds | American Ag Network

> Rabobank expects global poultry consumption to grow 2.5 to 3% this year, the second year of above-average growth that has improved margins. Avian influenza remains a major concern for the US industry, and tight parent stock and high hatching egg prices restrict growth. Trade tensions and retaliatory tariffs on poultry are flagged as risks.
