# Rabobank report: Rising volatility will challenge industry margins - Poultry News

> Rabobank reports that the global poultry market is performing relatively well in the second half of 2018 but is being challenged by trade volatility, mainly linked to Brazil. Other challenges include rising grain and oilseed price volatility from drought and trade issues, and concerns about avian influenza as the northern hemisphere winter approaches. Analyst Nan-Dirk Mulder says China's African swine fever outbreak could indirectly affect global poultry markets.

## Why it matters

A large liquidation of China's pig herd could pressure Chinese meat prices and, later, shift demand toward poultry. Grain and oilseed volatility also feeds through to poultry costs.
