Chicken exports reach 1,000 tons in 2 months

 

Iran exported some 1,000 tons of chicken in the first two months of the current Iranian calendar year (Feb 20-April 19, 2024), the Head of Iran Veterinary Organization Mojtaba Norouzi said.

According to Norouzi, Iraq was the top export destination for the exports of the mentioned commodity.

“With our current production infrastructure, we can export 300,000 tons of chicken and meet part of the 2.2 million-ton demand of neighboring countries,” he said.

Most of the Iranian poultry products are exported to the neighboring countries including Afghanistan, Iraq, Turkey as well as some Persian Gulf Arab nations, but recently Venezuela also became a new destination for the exports of the mentioned commodity.
