Poultry Cutbacks Needed As Food-service Demand Falters

Summary By: Faunalytics | Published: July 20, 2012

Estimated Reading Time: < 1 minute

The decreasing demand for chicken within food-services in the U.S. has led chicken producers to cut back on poultry production.

As U.S. food-service sales continue to fall, chicken producers are cutting back on production; food-service comprises an estimated 40-45% of total chicken sales, and the decline in sales translates into a roughly 3% drop in total demand for chicken.

Food-service comprises 40-45% of total chicken sales. Consequently, as food-service sales are declining, chicken sales in the sector are also declining by 7%, resulting in a 3% drop in total demand. Industry experts also note a decrease in chicken export demand.
