# Weekly global protein digest: Countries move to stop imports of Kentucky poultry, prices higher amid low cold stocks
						 | The Poultry Site

> Multiple countries have restricted poultry imports from Kentucky and other areas after HPAI was confirmed at a 240,000-bird Tyson commercial broiler flock in Kentucky. Additional bans came from China, Korea, Vietnam and others, with a possible second Indiana turkey case awaiting confirmation. The weekly digest also notes higher prices amid low cold storage stocks.

## Why it matters

Export bans on US poultry reduce demand for US chicken and push supply into domestic markets, pressuring prices. Feed demand from affected broiler and turkey production could weaken if restrictions persist.
