Driven by strong internal demand, EU chicken meat production is expected to continue growing in 2027. In 2027, Poland will remain the largest EU chicken meat producer, accounting for more than 21 percent of total EU production. The EU trade surplus in chicken meat is expected to increase in 2027 with significantly lower imports if the EU ban on Brazilian chicken meat which started in September 2026 continues into 2027 while EU Exports could be slightly constrained by increased competition from Brazilian meat in export markets.
As the October 17, 2026 deadline for mandatory halal certification for most agricultural products approaches, Indonesia’s halal authority (BPJPH) has issued several regulations with trade implications for approximately $2.5 billion in U.S. agricultural exports. Notably, BPJPH formally exempted soybeans, corn, and other plant-based genetically engineered raw commodities from halal certification requirements, greenlighting approximately $1.25 billion in annual U.S. exports. However, BPJPH also clarified halal slaughter requirements and issued measures which would require U.S. exporters to have pre-shipment inspections, hire halal supervisors, and meet labeling requirements for non-halal products. FAS continues to seek clarity since many details related to the implementation of these regulations remain uncertain and invites comments from U.S. industry.
