Turkey sales plummeting

It seems that demand for cheaper poultry also started to shrink: last year poultry processing companies bought only 1 percent less chicken meet from breeders, but at a 6-percent lower price. According to data from the Poultry Product Council, in the first nine months of 2009 processing companies bought 25 percent less turkey than a year earlier. Sales in the formerly very popular and more expensive turkey segment contracted by 5 percent (poultry was down by 1 percent).
