Between 2013 and 2021, the production of foie gras worldwide fluctuated slightly, with a significant drop in 2016, 2017, 2020 and 2021. That last year, the production volume dropped to around 21,640 tons. The years 2015 to 2017 were particularly difficult for farmers, as the "avian influenza, or bird flu," hit many producers around the globe.
In 2015, an avian flu epidemic (H5N1) hit France, while many ducks and goose were affected, this strand of the virus was particularly dangerous to chicken. However, between 2016 and 2017, the H5N8 virus, another variation of the bird flu, spread across the country. This strand of the virus was deadly to both ducks and goose, and, as a result, millions of birds were euthanized.
