  • Egypt - Domestic production of Poultry only 40% of Needs Due to Bird Flu - H5N1

    As the population moves to other protein sources, the price of meat increases significantly.



    .. Bury the poultry industry and the return of chicks Assembly
    Achieve: Hanan pilgrims

    Ramadan Ali entered the door, while the poultry industry in Egypt and more complex stage than 60% of poultry production dissipated, with the swine flu pandemic. (edit - really bird flu - H5N1 - s.)
    And large investors seem as if they were waiting for more Tattiyc market to more profit or other object does not know others, while imports become champions sad spectacle of the industry was once a sweet dream for thousands of small retail investors. The result was buried a legitimate industry and a successful national agreements and small government and seasonal with importers senior in order to provide a chicken an acceptable price, while seen last winter buried more than 50% of mothers of poultry without one is even the Minister of Agriculture is responsible for this file is hot and still drawers office closed on the decisions and recommendations and plans to save the industry, which destroyed nearly half of , and became the second half under the threat of monopoly and import!

    Days ago and got half the amount of the transaction contract between the Egyptian government represented by the Holding Company for Food and Under one of the largest Brazilian companies producing chickens .. the amount of thousand tons the company received while waiting for the second half to come within days, while according to Dr. Ahmed Alrakipi chairman of the company they are not negotiating only with some top local producers to supply more than 120 tons .. the deal although it is only a fraction of the volume of domestic consumption, especially in the month of Ramadan, as she said Alrakipi, try to set the prices that run wild in the recent period.

    And he says the company's chairman: We aim to provide about 3000 and 200 tons of frozen chicken before the holy month of Ramadan is provided for consumers across campuses of the company's prices will be around 16 pounds and a half pound per kilo, while expected to be priced up the world outside the compounds between 18 and 19 pounds per kilo, an attempt to provide chicken at affordable prices in the month of Ramadan, which is witnessing a large consumption of meat and poultry.

    Khaled Aboismaeil agent of the company imported poultry contracted by the company indicates that the package of chicken held by the company was under half of the amount brought in a month while the amount of chicken imported annually about 20 thousand tons, only confirms that the price the deal was done not Check any profit for his company, which is supplying chickens at about 15 pounds and a half pound per kilogram, a price lower than any price to be submitted to any other sector.

    Try talked about by Dr. Alrakipi and tempting offer provided by the company, seen by many, headed by workers in the field of poultry industry proof of the deterioration of industry, the Egyptian production and market demand to provide chicken after Say to a large extent the volume of domestic production, which sees Dr. Abdulaziz President of the Division of Poultry Producers Room Commerce said the 700 thousand chickens a day and says: now produce about a million and a half million chickens, while our production is supposed to be about 2.0002 million chickens a thousand that we have a deficit of about 700 thousand chickens daily and increase the volume of consumption in seasons, led by the month of Ramadan by 25% which must not be less than the size of what is available every day in Ramadaan 2 million and a half million chickens or that I have a deficit of nearly a million chickens.

    Is coming
    Word of the President of the Division of Poultry simply means that the high prices of chicken in Ramadan is coming and also shows more of the larger dimensions of the problem, the collapse of a few of the poultry industry also adds: in late 2009, the Secretary of Agriculture a package of regulatory decisions industry, including the assertion that the end of 2009 is the last production cycle on farms Valley and the Delta, a decision which we opposed at the time that the Delta and the Valley produces about 70% of Egypt's production of chicken, which means elimination of the industry, despite the reality of the case now that 30% of small farms have been closed completely and we are now entering the stage of monopoly by a number of major companies that not more than 13 companies that are able to continue and no one cares Homage especially as the state had raised her hand about the industry years ago when it sold companies that had been subordinated to the extent that I personally know the owner of a large-scale farms that reported cases of bird flu has infected mothers has cared no one and there heavy casualties have occurred this winter and the result we have lost almost 50% of the mothers of poultry and rose to the prices of chickens increased by a phenomenal from 3 pounds to eight and a half pound, and can be up to ten pounds because the big plantation owners took advantage of the crisis and raised the price to pay the price, while small and medium-sized producers
    .
    Companies accused of
    Big companies, which asserts that some small producers windfall profits it has achieved since the beginning of last winter when there were heavy casualties in the mothers are accused of being the main reason for raising the prices of poultry after recently become controlled in the amount of supply of live poultry in or have been slaughtered in the massacres of some companies that have the massacres own one of these companies, which ended all special permits since last November, with the consent of quick personal from the Minister of Agriculture personally that bought large tracts of land which is allocated 163 acres to establish a slaughterhouse huge Wadi El-Natron so far not provided production Mdzrha nothing while the company's chief said the slaughterhouse, which was expected around 500 thousand chickens per day by 2011 is still suffering some of the obstacles and therefore did not come down production for the market so far, the company owned by a Saudi businessman, according to its director Dr. Mahmoud, the pilot production began, but did not come down to the markets and expected to be available to the public during the month of July!!

    In September 2009 when he issued resolution 1002 on non-renewal of licenses for existing farms, and not far from the residential block a distance of 1000 meters Ministry of Agriculture announced at the time the identification of 18 new sites cordon outside the cities to establish an alternative to those farms will be closed These are the places that no one had heard anything about it until now, not even for the Compensation Fund that would have to deal with the support and compensation from the farms hit by bird flu crisis, which many consider to make the industry have already signed caught in monopoly and import .

    Import is not a solution
    Nader Sweilem a senior importers confirms that the import cover approximately 60% of the needs of the local market after it became the Egyptian production does not cover more than 40% of our needs, he said. He adds: You must recognize that we are importer of poultry and not from top producers as we were, but also we are exporting to the outside, but the crisis of swine flu that failed sadly in its management eliminated the two-thirds of the industry and we make it not start our real only after the crisis, and the state are turned to us but the volume of imports determined by the all importers, according to his own calculations, there is no real organization of our work, and he acknowledged this and only How do we explain that intervention by the State represented by the holding company for contracting with importers top?!

    Question Sweilem not wait for an answer known in advance, but points to another important point the sources of Egyptian imports Ltd. Chicken says: We have three sources only: Brazil, France and finally the Gulf states, led by Saudi Arabia, UAE, Oman, the State resorted to one source, namely Brazil is not going to give large amounts, even those playing with us for a game Tattiyc market and started to take advantage of if we need increased and they have specific quotas for us and will not change them since the bird flu crisis and we import around 40% of our needs means that the market does not cover only 80% of the needs but things were going, but now I know that the volume of domestic production, but we say we will not give easily as importers to increase their imports for fear of market fluctuations, and there will be a crisis in Ramadan certainly will be reflected on the prices of poultry, I do not think that even if the state tries to hold more conventions would be easy Importers fear of dealing with the government financially and we are paying about 30% of customs and taxes, how can we sell a chicken at 15 or 16 pounds after that? This loss for us and the amount contracted by the company it does not worth anything compared to consumption because it is equal to consumption of only one day and two-thirds day of the month of Ramadan!
