Iran poultry and egg industry production trends

Overview

The Iranian poultry and egg industry has faced significant challenges due to currency fluctuations and the removal of preferential exchange rates. Industry experts reported a production crisis driven by surging raw material costs, such as soybean and corn, which led to a deficit for producers as farm-gate costs exceeded market prices. This economic pressure resulted in only half of the country’s animal feed factory capacity being active.

In contrast to these national economic pressures, specific regional reports indicate stability in certain provinces. In Hamedan, officials reported the distribution of over 22 million chicks, contributing to significant chicken meat production with measures in place to prevent shortages. Similarly, Kermanshah has maintained production levels that exceed local consumption, allowing for the daily export of packaged chicken to other provinces. In these regions, livestock feed reserves have remained in a favorable condition.
