A Public Health Institute of Georgia review of WOAH records found that four of 11 countries across the Caucasus, Central Asia, Türkiye, Ukraine, and Moldova had reported highly pathogenic avian influenza events since October 2021. Türkiye lost about 16.9 million farmed birds, while Moldova and Ukraine reported 145 mostly backyard outbreaks; seven countries, including Georgia, had no public notifications in the period reviewed.
The reported losses in Türkiye represent a substantial reduction in poultry supply and can support regional poultry prices, while outbreaks and uneven reporting complicate assessments of supply risk. The review covers multiple years, so it does not establish current losses or a fresh price shock.
