In This Article:

The American chicken industry stands to lose from China’s plan to hit all U.S. goods with an additional 34% tariff and suspend imports from some poultry suppliers. U.S. chicken companies, including Tyson Foods, Pilgrim’s Pride and Wayne-Sanderson Farms, rely on exporting chicken products that Americans don’t typically eat to China and other Asian countries. Mainland China and Hong Kong imported more than $600 million worth of chicken from the U.S. last year, down 25% from the prior year.
