Iran poultry output down 27% y/y to 0.143 mln mt in April
Iran’s poultry production dropped significantly in the calendar month to late April this year, according to official figures.
Figures by the Statistical Center of Iran published on Monday showed that total poultry output in Iran reached 143,155 metric tons (mt) in the month to April 20, down 27% from the same period in 2022.
The SCI said that supply of poultry to registered slaughterhouse across Iran had dropped by 21% compared to the calendar month to late March.
The figures showed that chicken production, including hen and roosters, had accounted for more than 97% of the poultry output in Iran in April as production fell by 27% month-on-month.
Turkey and ostrich meat production in the country reached 1,240 mt and 75 mt, down by 33% and 22% year on year, respectively, over the same period, said the SCI.
The figures come amid efforts by the Iranian government to control rising prices of food in the country. Experts believe meat prices have gone up partly because of lower supply of animal feed to producers as a result of higher international prices.
SCI figures published on Saturday showed that Iran’s annual inflation rate in April had reached 47.6%, one of the highest rates reported by the country in recent years.
