But wouldnt it lower the price of chicken in those places, providing more people w access to good calories although hurting the local farmers? Couldnt this be solved by a country putting up tariffs or banning importing such chicken? If they didn't do that what was their reason?

Why didn't they put tariffs in place? Well, how many governments, and people in power, did you ever hear of that worried about the poor and common folks? There are a lot of people profitting from these things, including the social conciousness of us in the developed world. And those interests, combined with a ton of money and close to no oversight, result in a system that just doesn't care about what happens to the average people.
