Why then is most Australian chicken Halal ritually slaughtered when hardly any is exported? Please explain!

5.3 Chicken meat and trade - Exports

Very little Australian chicken meat is exported. This is in part due to high local demand, and in part because international demand is largely met by countries which benefit from a lower cost base than Australia’s chicken meat producers and are, in some cases, supported by government subsidies.

Australian chicken meat is exported primarily to South Africa, the Philippines, Hong Kong, Singapore and the South Pacific islands (DAFF, 2011).
