The U.S. poultry industry is the world's largest producer and
second-largest exporter of poultry meat and is a major egg
producer. U.S. consumption of poultry meat (broilers, other
chicken, and turkey) is considerably higher than beef or pork, but
less than total red meat consumption. With almost 18 percent of
total poultry production exported, the U.S. poultry industry is
heavily influenced by currency fluctuations, trade negotiations,
and economic growth in importing markets. The poultry and egg
industry is a major user of feed grains. ERS offers:
- Monthly reports on poultry and egg industry outlook and data
covering supply, use, prices, and trade.
- Data products that include current trade indicators; retail,
wholesale, and farm values; and historical data on production, use,
and trade for the poultry and egg sector.
- Analyses of domestic and global conditions, trends, and
policies that affect poultry supply, demand, prices, and
trade.
