Earlier Report Observations

The poultry meat market in French Polynesia showed moderate fluctuations between 2018 and 2022, with annual volumes ranging from 17 685 t to 18 228 t. During these years, frozen chicken legs were consistently regulated as essential goods with controlled prices, supporting steady consumer demand. Import regulations remained strict, including mandatory veterinary certificates and, from 2020, enhanced traceability labels requiring exact composition, origin, and packer approval numbers on every poultry shipment.

This pattern was disrupted in 2023 when authorities immediately suspended imports of refrigerated and frozen poultry from mainland France following a detected outbreak of highly pathogenic avian influenza in Dordogne. The ban led to an 11.6% drop in imports, which reduced the total market volume to 16 272 t for the year.

In early 2024, the import suspension on poultry meat from France, Belgium and Denmark was lifted, and updated sanitary inspection guidelines were issued. Changes to the pass‑request procedure from August 2024 facilitated a gradual recovery in poultry imports, with volumes reaching 15 110 t for the year.
