Broiler imports may drop 39 percent to 375,000 tons this year from 618,000 tons in 2010, as domestic poultry production increases, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Foreign Agricultural Service said Wednesday its web site.
Domestic consumption may drop 1.4 percent to 2.89 million tons from an estimated 2.93 million in 2010. Broiler-meat production may jump 9 percent to 2.52 million tons from 2.31 million a year earlier, according to the report.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
