Poland is the largest EU poultry meat producer, accounting for 21 percent of total EU production. Despite expectations for rising poultry production in 2025 due to growing demand and lower production costs, the spread of animal diseases throughout the country in March and April 2025 have begun to weigh on Polish production.

The Malaysian government will end chicken egg subsidies effective August 1, 2025 as part of a broader shift from blanket subsidies to targeted assistance. Current ceiling prices for certain grades of eggs remain unchanged.

In early July 2023, after almost 50 years, the first outbreak of Newcastle Disease was confirmed on a Polish commercial farm keeping hens for slaughter, followed by three other outbreaks in the contact farms.

Malaysia again extended the subsidy for the poultry industry until December 2022 to stabilize the price of whole chicken (processed and sold with head, feet, and organs) and eggs, as stated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries (MAFI) on Sunday, October 9, 2022. In total, Government of Malaysia (GOM) allocations for chicken and egg subsidies from February to December 2022 will amount to RM1.233 billion (USD$265.16 million).

Effective June 1, 2022, Malaysia intends to ban export of poultry products to ensure sufficient domestic supply. This is the latest in a series of measures taken to try to combat rising food prices in the country.
