# Rabobank: Global poultry sector faces ongoing volatility - Food & Agribusiness

> Rabobank's quarterly report says ongoing trade volatility, particularly with Brazil, will continue to challenge poultry industry margins. It flags EU restrictions on Brazilian plants, the Q2 truckers strike, and China's safeguard on Brazilian chicken. Rabobank also cites rising grain and oilseed price volatility and concerns about autumn avian influenza outbreaks.

## Why it matters
