Abstract
The work subject is a quantitative analysis of Croatian and world poultry production for the period 2005 – 2009. Based on the available statistical data, the basic characteristics of poultry are: number of poultry, poultry meat and chicken egg production, and the value of export and import of poultry products on the local and world markets. The work uses information from state statistics and FAOstat. The results show that, during the period analyzed, Croatia had an average of 10.3 million poultry, produced 131,000 tons of poultry weight gain, and 813 million chicken eggs. The total value of poultry product exports was $144 million, with poultry meat products having the largest share (64.8%). The total value of exports was $178 million, with poultry meat and edible slaughterhouse products having the largest share (55.1%). In the rest of the world, the number of chickens for the same period increased by 8.9%, and in 2009, there were 20.5 billion poultry. The world poultry meat production increased from 79.8 million to 91.3 million tons, and the chicken egg production from 56.6 million to 62.4 million tons. During the period 2005 – 2008, the total value of world poultry meat exports increased by 64.7%, and the value of chicken eggs by 85%. At the same time, the total value of world poultry meat imports increased by 68.1%, and the value of chicken eggs by 79.5%.
