Chicken meat output in Turkey on the rise
Statistical data from Turkey shows that chicken meat production in the country is rising this year. At the beginning of 2020, Turkey reported a production of 183,713 tonnes of chicken meat, up by 8.8 against the same month of 2019. Also, the number of chicken slaughtered increased by 6%, reaching a total of 102,837 thousand units. Hen egg production (1.8 billion units) increased 2.6% y-o-y and 1.6% compared with the previous month.
A negative evolution was reported in turkey meat production (4,705 tonnes), with a decline of 7.4% compared to the same month last year and down by 21.1% against the figure reported in December 2019. In 2019, Turkish egg exports have been hit by a ban placed by Iraq on these products. However, Turkish exporters raced to find new markets for their products and recorded a 12,715% increase in egg imports to Syria from $320,161 to $41 million in 2019. Egg imports to Kuwait also rose by 2,000% to $31.64 million, up from over $1 million in 2018. In October, exporters also sent the first shipment of eggs to the US, a market Turkish egg exporters have been eyeing for a long time. Poultry meat exports have totaled $571.4 million last year.
