10 people who shared their thoughts with Poultry World
With the end of the year closing in, it is time to look back at what 2019 brought us. A turbulent year to say the least. This time around the poultry industry escaped large scale avian influenza outbreaks and was able to continue production and exports.
And that was necessary as African Swine fever diminished herds in many main production areas. In the worlds quest for animal protein, poultry meat and eggs were the go to source. Did this profit all markets? Unfortunately not. Trade restrictions due to quality issues on the one hand and the China-US trade problems stood between market opportunities and chances. In that light it is good to see the positiveness shared by 10 people in the industry that are from different backgrounds. Check out theses Poultry World interviews in 2019…
