Release time:2025-02-06
With the official release of customs data for the whole year of 2024, the changes in chicken imports and exports have finally been revealed.This year, the domestic chicken market can be described as experiencing a “big change”. Imports fell below 1 million tons for the first time in five years, while exports have advanced by leaps and bounds and continue to break through the high points of the past years. This contrast is really striking.
According to data from the General Administration of Customs, China's chicken imports in December 2024 were 95,900 tons, an increase of 1.37% sequentially and an increase of 10.36% year-on-year. The seemingly moderate growth hides subtle changes in the market.In 2024, China's total chicken imports were 976,900 tons, a year-on-year decrease of 27.53%. This data is even more staggering. Since 2020, imports have fallen below the 1 million-ton mark for the first time. Domestic production has continued to increase, and the internal circulation of chicken circulation has been strengthened. , And the price of domestic chicken remained relatively low throughout the year, and the import reduction was obvious.
Turning to export data, China's chicken exports in December 2024 were 78,500 tons, an increase of 0.60% sequentially and an increase of 41.90% year-on-year. In 2024, China's total chicken exports were 770,300 tons, an increase of 39.02% year-on-year.Domestic production capacity is relatively surplus. On the one hand, enterprises continue to broaden their sales channels, and on the other hand, governments at all levels also encourage exports to earn foreign exchange to a certain extent. In 2024, the export volume will continue to break through the monthly record high, and the fourth quarter has been able to maintain a single-month export of more than 70,000 tons. The order.Such achievements undoubtedly demonstrate that the competitiveness of Chinese chicken in the international market is constantly improving.
