# Global poultry sector set to improve post-Covid - Food & Agribusiness

> Rabobank's Q3 2021 poultry report expects global poultry demand to recover as vaccination rates rise, with foodservice demand making up about a third of global demand. High feed prices are expected to push up retail poultry prices in the second half of 2021. Europe's production is forecast to fall 2-3% in 2021, and global trade is shifting away from China.
