Turkey: Poultry and Products Semi-annual
Link to report:
In 2020, chicken meat production in Turkey is expected to grow 2 percent to 2.2 million metric tons (MT). The expectation is lower than pre-recession average growth rates due to high feed prices which limit production. Turkey produced 2.1 million MT of chicken meat in 2019, which is almost the same as the previous year. The Turkish poultry sector is dependent on foreign suppliers for feed, which is the main input cost for poultry operations. Consumption stagnated in 2019 and it is expected to be slightly higher in 2020 due to increased at home consumption. In 2020, chicken meat exports are expected to grow only 3 percent to 420,000 metric tons (MT) since there are continuing challenges with neighboring countries and transportation issues.
