Saint Lucia

In 2013, Saint Lucia ranked #165 globally in Chicken Meat Production Volume with a total of 1472.07 metric tons. This volume is relatively low compared to larger Caribbean neighbors, which typically produce more due to greater agricultural resources. The country's limited land area and focus on tourism over agriculture contribute to its modest production levels, affecting local food security and economic diversification.

China, Macao SAR

In 2013, China, Macao SAR ranked #157 globally in Chicken Meat Production Volume with a total of 3600 metric tons. This volume is significantly lower than many of its regional neighbors, reflecting the small size of its agricultural sector compared to larger economies in the region. The limited land area and urbanized environment of Macao contribute to its reliance on imports for food supply, impacting local production capabilities.

Latvia

In 2013, Latvia achieved a global rank of #116 in Chicken Meat Production Volume, with a total output of 26,830 metric tons. This production level is relatively modest compared to larger poultry producers in the region, such as Poland, which significantly outpaces Latvia. The country's production is influenced by its small agricultural sector and limited domestic market demand, as well as its focus on diverse agricultural exports rather than solely poultry.

Netherlands

In 2013, the Netherlands achieved a global rank of #28 in Chicken Meat Production Volume, with a total of 920794 metric tons produced. This volume is significant compared to neighboring Belgium, which produced considerably less, reflecting the Netherlands' strong agricultural sector. The country's advanced farming techniques, efficient supply chains, and favorable climate conditions contribute to its robust poultry industry, making it a key player in European meat production.

Liberia

In 2013, Liberia ranked #137 globally in chicken meat production volume, with a total of 12061.87 metric tons. This production level is relatively low compared to regional leaders, reflecting the challenges faced by the agricultural sector in West Africa.

The primary drivers behind Liberia's chicken meat production include limited investment in the poultry industry and ongoing recovery from civil conflict, which has impacted agricultural infrastructure and food security. Additionally, the country's reliance on imports for protein sources further constrains local production capacity.

Mozambique

In 2013, Mozambique ranked #92 globally in chicken meat production volume, with a total of 55,633 metric tons. This production level is relatively low compared to regional leaders like South Africa, which has a much higher output. Factors contributing to Mozambique's production include a growing demand for poultry as a protein source and ongoing agricultural development programs aimed at enhancing food security.

Nicaragua

Nicaragua ranked #64 globally in chicken meat production volume in 2013, with a total of 123374 metric tons. This production level is notable when compared to neighboring Honduras, which produced significantly less chicken meat during the same period. The country's favorable climate and agricultural policies have supported a growing poultry industry, making chicken a staple protein source in the Nicaraguan diet.

Poland

In 2013, Poland achieved a global rank of #14 in chicken meat production volume, with a total of 1,517,300 metric tons. This production level places Poland ahead of many of its neighbors, including the Czech Republic and Slovakia, which have significantly lower outputs. The country's robust agricultural sector, combined with its favorable climate for poultry farming and increasing domestic consumption, has driven this production capacity.

Lithuania

In 2013, Lithuania produced 87,489 metric tons of chicken meat, ranking #75 out of 194 countries. This production volume is below the European Union average, indicating a smaller scale of poultry farming compared to larger producers like France and Germany.
