Hungary's poultry slaughter rose 17.9% year on year to nearly 134 million birds in the first half of 2026, according to the Institute of Agricultural Economics (AKI). Duck slaughter surged 78% to 13.9 million birds, and live-weight poultry output rose more than 20% to 417,000 tonnes.
The rebound is largely a low-base effect after the 2024/25 avian influenza epidemic, so it adds modest poultry and feed demand in Central Europe. Higher domestic output could slightly ease local poultry prices, though the effect on feed grain markets is limited.
