The Republic of Korea (RoK) was the biggest importer of poultry meat, accounting for 28.6%, followed by Malaysia 24.8%.
Meanwhile, poultry egg exports in February were estimated at more than 501,500 USD, over doubling the value recorded a year earlier.
The department said poultry farming developed stably in the first quarter of 2023, with a population of about 551.4 million, 563,200 tonnes of meat, and 4.7 billion eggs, respectively increasing 2.4%, 4.2%, and 4.5% year on year.
Last year, the country exported nearly 3.77 million USD worth of poultry meat, falling sharply from the 20.7 million USD in 2021, statistics show./.
