Belgium reported an increase in its export of fresh and frozen chicken over the years. Although the exported value has slightly decreased to 695 million euros, in terms of volume there has been observed an increase to almost 450,000 tons in 2016, according to the Belgian Meat Office.

Belgian chicken offals have reported a rise in exports when referring to volume, and the value stayed at a relatively stable level.

The main market for Belgian chicken meat is France, representing an export share of 39%, followed by the Netherlands (25%), the United Kingdom (16%) and Germany (7%). Other markets follow far behind, including some remarkable African destinations.

Both the DR Congo (sixth place), South Africa (seventh place) and Ghana (eleventh place) have seen export rising during the past few years, even if the export was more limited in 2016.

The Philippines occupies the tenth place according to the imported quantity of Belgian chicken meat.
