# Nueva Ecija bird flu outbreak not seen affecting demand - BusinessWorld Online

> Poultry industry groups in the Philippines report little impact on chicken demand or prices from a bird flu outbreak in Cabiao, Nueva Ecija, where 42,000 birds were culled. The outbreak may delay the country's bird-flu-free declaration, which was expected by December 20, and will mainly affect the small export business.

## Why it matters

Local chicken demand appears unaffected, so domestic prices are unlikely to move much. Feed demand from the poultry sector stays stable, with only a minor export-side effect.
