Chicken feet in demand in China

Latest figures show that the customs authorities in Beijing reveal that in the first 6 months of 2008, China imported almost 420,000 tons of poultry meat.

This figure represents an increase of almost 25,000 tons on the same period of 2007 and is 133,000 tons higher than in the first two quarters of 2006.

The US was the major supplier of poultry meat to China in the first six months of 2008 shipping in 300,000 tons, which is an increase of over 50,000 tons. Argentina, which is a country renowned for its beef, saw exports soar from 18,700 t to 112,600 tons.

From January to the end of June 2008, over 50% of poultry imports were in the form of chicken feet.
