Report Highlights:
Although comprehensive data are not available, all anecdotal information suggests that domestic production of poultry in Afghanistan will continue to grow in 2013. Afghan producers will increase production by investing in land to expand large, integrated facilities. Despite increases in domestic
production, poultry imports are expected to continue on the upward trend in 2013 and 2014 since domestic poultry production does not meet rising demand. According to exporter data, poultry imports are estimated at a total of 37,499 mt in 2012. The United States remains the largest supplier (29,317 mt, $32.3 million in 2012). This report provides information on the requirements for exporting to Afghanistan.
