Earlier Report Observations

The Ecuadorian chicken meat market volume rose from 441.8 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 505.1 thousand tonnes in 2019, supported by industry campaigns promoting consumption due to chicken's low cost and ongoing farm modernization with high-technology equipment. This expansion halted in 2020 when the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted supply chains, causing a nearly 12% drop in production and reducing market volume to 452.0 thousand tonnes; during mobility restrictions, home delivery of fresh chicken gained importance, helping to cushion demand.

Post-pandemic recovery lifted market volume to 489.8 thousand tonnes in 2021. Consumption increased by 3.14% in 2022, pushing the market to 513.7 thousand tonnes despite some oversupply that weighed on producer prices. A key shift occurred in 2023 when Ecuador exported its first shipment of chicken meat to the Bahamas, and production grew by about 10%, driving market volume to 562.2 thousand tonnes as the sector aimed to meet international sanitary standards for new export destinations.

In 2024, a trade agreement with China took effect, allowing exports of chicken thighs, feet and claws, while poultry exports surged by 183% through September compared to the previous year. Simultaneously, regulatory changes permitted tariff-free imports of chicken, pork and beef from the United States under quotas, altering competitive conditions for domestic producers.
