Poland's Ministry of Agriculture reported 143 outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza and 55 outbreaks of Newcastle disease in commercial poultry farms since the start of 2026. Broiler purchase prices in the first week of November were PLN 4.65/kg, the lowest since February 2024.
Disease outbreaks reduce poultry flock sizes and export capacity, but weak domestic broiler prices signal oversupply in the EU market, which pressures demand for poultry-based feed ingredients and weighs on chicken prices.
