The FAO reports 272 additional avian influenza outbreaks in birds worldwide in little more than a month, with activity rising in Asia-Pacific, Africa and Europe. WHO data show 52 human H5N6 infections in Asia-Pacific since 2014, half of them in 2021.
FAO is calling for better early warning and information sharing.
Rising poultry outbreaks reduce flock sizes and can tighten chicken supply, which is mildly supportive for chicken prices and feed demand. The impact is limited unless outbreaks reach major exporting countries.
