# EU-27 poultry market update - Poultry World

> The EU-27 chicken meat sector is expected to contract about 1.6% in 2020 due to Covid-19 lockdowns and closure of foodservice channels. Poland, the largest EU producer, has been hit by HPAI cases, which led several countries to restrict imports from the region. A rebound is forecast for 2021 at a slower pace than before the pandemic.
