Live Poultry Trading Condition

By CnAgri2013-06-28 14:16:35 Print Live poultry trading market was closed in East China following the outbreak of bird flu in early 2013, but trading has resumed in these regions recently.
 
Jiangsu: Live poultry trading is on the rise at wholesale markets, free markets and supermarkets, resulting in an upslope price in some regions. Free markets are being reconstructed in Nanjing for the reopening of live poultry trading in July.
 
Anhui: Live poultry trading volume has recovered to the level of late 2012 amid a stable price in Hefei City.
 
Zhejiang: Live poultry wholesale volume has kept going up in Ningbo City recently. Poultry farms are busy purchasing young birds to prepare for brisk sale in the second half of this year.
 
Guangdong: The producer’s poultry price has recovered to 80 ~ 90% of the level before the bird flu incident. But WENS Group is still in the red.
 
Shanghai: The city has resumed live poultry trading, but has reduced retail stores from 461 to 200. Moreover, the city has set up a poultry trading tracking system. Live poultry trading is suspended for one day each week to give stores disinfection.
 
Despite the recovery of poultry market, considering the nation’s large stock of frozen poultry products and the current low pork price, poultry price is unlikely to pick up much in the short run.
