Measuring the effectiveness of the export enhancement program for poultry

Agribusiness, 1990, vol. 6, issue 2, 97-108

Abstract: This report examines the economic effects of the Export Enhancement Program for poultry meat for 1987. Total exports have increased 79 thousand metric tons due to the program. Model results indicate that every metric ton of poultry meat subsidized has resulted in an additional 0.83 metric ton of poultry meat exports at an average cost of $761|mt. Although US poultry exports have increased, other poultry exporters (including the European Community) have not been significantly affected. US producers have gained marginally, while US consumers have lost an equivalent amount of welfare through higher domestic poultry prices.
