China's ban on US chicken could cost millions

By JACK FREIFELDER in New York (China Daily USA) Updated: 2015-01-14 09:21

China's ban on the import of poultry and eggs from the United States in response to the presence of avian flu could cost the US poultry trade many millions of dollars, according to an industry executive.

Jim Sumner, president of the USA Poultry and Egg Export Councilcouncil (USAPEEC), said the ban that China has put in place on Jan 8 will affect shipments of chicken paws.

"Our major poultry exports to China are in the form of paws and wingtips, and China is one of the only primary export markets we have for paws," Sumner told China Daily on Tuesday. "Unfortunately, there are few other markets for this product, which means that it will probably go for rendering instead of for export.

"Paws have commanded maybe upwards of 90 cents a pound in the China market, and if they don't get sold to China and they go to rendering, they may be providing 3 or 4 cents a pound," he said. "This is going to cost our industry many millions of dollars."

China's Ministry of Agriculture and the country's General Administration for Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine issued a joint announcement detailing the ban, which also applies to breeding stock, which includes live chicks and hatching eggs.

Last month, a highly pathogenic strain of H5N8 avian influenza was discovered among wild birds and in a "backyard flock" of guinea hens and chickens in Oregon. The US Department of Agriculture also confirmed another strain of avian flu (H5N2) that was detected in two separate cases in California and Washington state.

Government officials have said that these varieties of bird-flu viruses have not been found in any commercial flocks in the US, adding that detection in noncommercial birds represents "no immediate public health concern".

The H5N8 strain has also appeared in China, Japan and South Korea, and more recently in the United Kingdom and Canada.

Agriculture officials have warned citizens that the biggest risk to other birds in the area comes from migratory bird populations, but the USDA has said it plans to increase the amount of testing where the avian flu strains were initially found.

Most bird flu viruses do not infect humans. But another strain, H5N1, which severely affected poultry in Asia, became a worldwide concern because in 2003 it was more easily spread among humans.

US poultry exports to China reached $272 million in the first 11 months of 2014, according to data from the USAPEEC. USDA data shows that China was the sixth-largest importer of US chicken meat and the second-largest import destination for US turkey.

The bulk of US chicken production is located in the Southeastern United States, Sumner said, including states like Georgia, Arkansas and Alabama. Minnesota and North Carolina figure most prominently in the grand scheme of the country's turkey production.

He also said an important aspect e in the recent detection of avian flu is that the birds in question are not part of any commercial operations. "These are backyard flocks, and that's the key point here," Sumner said.

China's decision to restrict imports from the US comes on the heels of similar action from a number of other countries around the world.

Since the USDA confirmed bird flu in Washington State in mid-December of last year, more than 20 countries have put imports restrictions in place regarding US-sourced poultry, a group that includes: Canada, Japan, Peru, South Africa and South Korea.

Worth Sparkman, a spokesman for Tyson Foods Inc, one of the world's largest marketers and processors of chicken, beef and pork, said the company was "disappointed" by China's move to ban poultry from the US.

"There may be some impact to our business, but we believe the volume will be absorbed by other global markets," Sparkman said in an e-mail to China Daily.

Chicken is the fastest-growing protein in China, representing 17 percent of total meat consumption in China, according to data from Fujian Sunner Development Co (Sunner), China's largest breeder, processor and supplier of chicken products.
