Thai chicken production capacity is estimated at 35-36 million birds per week in 2018
Trade sources explain that robust prices for live broilers and chicken meat for export as well as prevailing low feed costs in 2017 are encouraging the expansion. Chick production capacity is estimated at 35-36 million birds/week in 2018, as compared to the estimated 33-34 million birds in 2017, according to the USDA report.
Thailand's broiler industry proved to be well adapted to avoid potential supply bottlenecks in 2016 and 2017, although the Thai Government imposed an import ban on chicken genetics from the United States, the longstanding largest suppliers to the Thai market, in December 2014. Thailand successfully switched to genetic supplies from other sources, especially genetics from France, Netherlands, Denmark, and New Zealand.
According to the Thai Department of Livestock Development (DLD), Thailand is scheduled to lift the ban on U.S. broiler genetics by September 2017.
