Korea confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza (H5N9) on 4 November at a laying hen farm in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi, with about 91,000 birds, the first poultry outbreak of the 2026/2027 season. Authorities ordered a 24-hour nationwide standstill, a two-week disinfection drive and inspections of 17 farms within a 10 km zone.
Outbreaks in Korea's layer sector can cut domestic egg supply and raise imports, while culling and movement restrictions tighten local poultry logistics. The impact on feed demand is limited at this scale, so price effects are likely small.
