USA Poultry & Egg Export Council's Toby Moore said they have word that the Chinese Ministry of Commerce has asked importers to reduce the number of permits they issue by 70%, adding he had few other details.
Following the report, Chinese Minister Chen Jian was reported as saying the country's imports "are normal with orderly and stable prices."
Mike Giles of the Georgia Poultry Federation said he hopes the rumors aren't true and that the industry has suffered enough due to last year's sharply increased feed grain prices.
Last year, Chinese imports of U.S. poultry totaled $722 million.
