**Report Highlights: Import bans on broiler meat from Thailand and China
will likely keep supplies tight in 2005. Brazil is expected to maintain
its large market share for broiler meat in 2005, while imports from the
U.S. are expected to rebound from an import ban imposed early in 2004. A
recovery of cooked poultry imports from Thailand and China is will help
to ease tight boiler supplies in 2005.**

# Broiler Market Situation and Outlook

## 2005 Outlook

### Overall broiler meat supply to remain tight 

Similar to 2004, the continued absence of broiler meat (generic) from
Thailand and China will likely keep consumption relatively low in 2005,
at about 1.45 million MT. When combined with imported prepared products,
Japan's total broiler consumption in 2005 is projected at 1.66 million
MT, up 1% from 2004.

Trade sources don't anticipate that Japan will lift its Avian Influenza
(AI) bans on Thai and Chinese broiler meat in the near term due to
sporadic outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI). Japan's
bans have been in place since January 2004, when the recent outbreaks
started.

Broiler meat supplies are projected relatively unchanged from 2004
levels at 1.135 million MT (dressed weight) for domestic production, and
530,000 MT (customs clearance basis: bone-in and boneless mixed) for
imports (320,000 MT for broiler meat 320,000 MT and 210,000 MT for
cooked products). Assuming Japan maintains its import bans on Thailand
and China in 2005, imports of broiler meat from Brazil are projected at
270,000 MT (84% import share), unchanged from 2004, but up substantially
from 2003 (175,000 MT or 38%). Imports from the United States are
expected to more than double to 35,000 MT (11% import share) from a low
of 15,000 MT in 2004 due to an import ban (February -- June) following
the detection of a case of HPAI in Texas. Limited supplies of imported
broiler meat will likely keep the market price for Brazilian boneless
cuts relatively high throughout 2005, which will likely hurt Japan's
food service industry, which is a major end user of imported meat.
Broiler meat stocks are also expected to remain tight in 2005. A
challenge for U.S. suppliers is to boost exports of boneless meat to
Japan that is specifically portioned for the market. With China and
Thailand currently out of market for this product there could be
opportunities for U.S. suppliers.

Total consumption is expected to rise slightly in 2005, keeping market
prices of domestic broiler meat relatively firm. In 2004, domestic and
international AI outbreaks made consumers wary and discouraged household
consumption, particularly during the first half of the year (see Table
1). Japanese producers will likely remain cautious about boosting
production due to uncertainties, particularly regarding the beef market
outlook and possible resumption of U.S. beef imports. \[Note: According
to Japan's agriculture ministry (MAFF), Japan's chicken consumption
share (generic) was 33% for households (mainly domestic fresh/chilled
cuts), 11% for processing (mainly domestic spent hen and imports), and
56% for food service and catering (mainly imports and partly domestic)
in 2003\]

\[Supplemental Note: As of September 2004, Japan's AI problems appear to
have been contained with no further outbreaks reported since early April
2004. Four HPAI cases were reported from December 2003 to April 2004,
and 275,000 birds were depopulated. As a result, Japan implemented new
AI measures to improve prevention and response.\]

### Full recovery is expected for cooked products from Thailand and China

In 2005, imports of cooked poultry products (broiler) from Thailand and
China are expected to rebound, projected up by 17% to 210,000 MT, from
low levels in 2004 due to a temporary ban. The unavailability of Chinese
and Thai broiler meat is expected to strengthen import demand for cooked
products in the food service and prepared food sectors.

## 

Japan initially banned prepared products from China and Thailand in 2004
due to HPAI outbreaks. However, the Government of Japan negotiated a
permit system on a plant-by-plant basis with China and Thailand to allow
trade in cooked poultry products to resume. Currently, 22 plants in
Thailand and 35 plants in China are eligible for export to Japan. Many
of the eligible plants are reportedly joint venture operations with
Japanese investors.

## 2004 Situation Update and Forecast

Japan's total broiler meat consumption, including imported prepared
products, is forecast down by 11% to 1.645 million MT in 2004. Broiler
meat consumption (excluding prepared products) is forecast down by 9% to
1.465 million MT. The overall decline is largely attributed to smaller
imports from Asia and the United States following HPAI outbreaks.
Imports of broiler meat from Thailand, China and U.S. were suspended in
January. The ban on U.S. imports was lifted in June but the bans on
Thailand and China remain, and it is unlikely the ban will be lifted in
2004.

Japan's 2004 total broiler imports, including cooked products, are
forecast to tumble by 28% from a year before to 500,000 MT (see Table
5). Imports of broiler meat are projected down by 31% to 320,000 MT (See
Table 6). In absence of Thai and Chinese broiler meat, Brazil became the
largest supplier in 2004, particularly for boneless cuts. The average
wholesale market price for Brazilian boneless leg meat jumped by 30% to
413 yen per kilogram in 2004, and is expected to remain high for the
remainder of the year (see Table 3). Monthly ending stocks in 2004 were
generally lower compared to 2003, and are expected to remain tight into
2005 (see Table 4).

Japan's ban on U.S. poultry imports was imposed in February and was not
lifted until June. As a result, imports from the United States during
for the first half of 2004 were only about 5,000 MT, one-quarter of the
level during the same period in 2003. According to trade sources, small
supplies of U.S. boneless leg meat may limit total imports of U.S.
broiler meat during the second half of 2004. Monthly import demand for
U.S. bone-in leg meat is reportedly at around 2,500 MT - 3,000 MT.

Imports of cooked poultry products from Thailand and China are projected
down by 21% to 180,000 MT in 2004 (see Table 7). Increased imports
during the second half of the year will likely not be enough to offset
the impact of Japan's import ban during the first half of the year.

AI outbreaks in Japan and overseas negatively affected the household
chicken consumption, resulting in a 12% drop in wholesale prices for
domestic broiler leg meat (fresh/chilled bone-less). However, retail
consumption is expected to rebound late in 2004 as AI concerns recede,
possibly increasing prices for domestic leg meat. Wholesale prices for
domestic breast meat are expected to remain relatively solid through
2004 supported by strong alternative demand in the food service sector
due to the ongoing ban on imported broiler meat from Thailand and China
(see Table 2).

Japan's 2004 broiler production is forecast unchanged from the previous
year at 1.13 million MT, with a first-half decline offset by increases
later in the year.
