High attendance numbers at the Jordan Poultry Producers Association\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s (JPPA) Conference in January was a strong indication of industry development, according to Joe O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien, U.S. Grains Council regional director.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153This was an opportunity for the Council to target more poultry operators and educate attendees on the benefits of incorporating U.S. DDGS and sorghum in poultry rations,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien commented, later adding that the conference was a unique platform to address producer quality concerns and promote value-enhanced U.S. grain products.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Obtaining quality poultry feed was a big issue at this meeting. U.S. suppliers now have a chance to set a standard in value and reliability in the region,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien noted.<\/p>\n
Based on a number of recent industry achievements, market development in Jordan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s poultry sector has seen new progress. The Association\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s successful negotiation in removing a 4 percent broiler tax and reducing a municipal fee collected on slaughtered birds will relieve producers of burdensome production costs. Moreover, prices of feed and poultry are now published daily.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153JPPA left this conference with a larger member base and a solid foundation in driving industry expansion,\u00e2\u20ac\ufffd O\u00e2\u20ac\u2122Brien said. The Association currently represents almost 10 percent of Jordan\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s poultry producers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
