Wilting under the pressure of non-EU imports

BRAZIL is rapidly catching up on France’s 25% share, and could soon become the main supplier of poultry meat to the European market.

As Irish farmers look over their shoulders at the increasing amounts of South American beef selling here, Continental poultry producers are wilting under the pressure of non-EU imports.

Coping with such pressures will be one of the main topics of the Space 2003 agri-food show in Rennes, France, September 16 to 19.
