Poultry Production Drops 3% as Ready-to-Cook Weight Falls from Previous Year

Federal agricultural statistics reveal a decline in poultry production, with ready-to-cook weight measurements showing a 3 percent decrease when compared to the same period last year.

The data, compiled by the National Agricultural Statistics Service, indicates a measurable reduction in processed poultry available for consumer markets across the United States.

This production decline reflects changing dynamics within the nation’s poultry processing industry, which plays a significant role in America’s food supply chain and agricultural economy.
