Post projects Calendar Year (CY)2026 Argentine poultry production at 2.58 million metric tons (MT), up 50,000 MT from updated CY2025 estimates, based on slowly growing domestic demand. CY2026 exports are projected at 150,000 MT, slightly less than downwardly-revised CY2025 estimates, based on expectations Argentina will continue navigating the closure of several overseas markets due to a Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) outbreak in late August 2025. The current HPAI outbreak and ensuing trade restrictions with key markets such as China and Chile, among others, come after having just regained access to these markets in March 2025.
