Turkey production decreases for years

The players of the turkey sector expect an about 10 percent decrease, due to the continous rise in prices of feed and energy – said Csorbai Attila, director of the Poultry Product Board (BTT) on Monday.

He explained that previously the three major turlkey market integrator – the Szarvas-based Gallicoop Kft. the Kecskemét-based Gallfood Kft. and the Sárvár-based SáGa Zrt. – expected to process nearly one hundred thousand tons of turkey meat for 2011 similar to last year, but now it is not expected, because of the increasing feed prices – reports Világgazdaság Online.
