Nan-Dirk Mulder, Senior Analyst at Rabobank anticipates a four to five percent annual growth rate in poultry production in South Asia and Southeast Asia through 2030. Growth is anticipated due to an increase in population and a growing preference for poultry meat. His projection suggests that supply will come from domestic production with only Thailand expanding their export market. Mulder envisages restructuring of poultry production with greater integration and modernization. Expansion will also involve marketing of poultry meat through a cold chain, disfavoring live-bird markets.
Rabobank recognizes investment opportunities in Southeast and South Asia both in poultry production and the cultivation and processing of oilseeds.
