Hungary's poultry meat exports rose 29% year on year to 113 thousand tons in January-May 2026, with export revenue up 22.3%. Poultry slaughter grew 17.9% in the first half of 2026, led by a 78% jump in duck slaughter as producers rebounded from the 2024-25 avian influenza outbreaks.
Stronger Hungarian output and exports add supply to the EU and export markets, and export revenue rising more slowly than volumes points to lower average prices. This is a modest bearish signal for chicken prices and feed demand in poultry production.
