The domestic turkey sector is looking for a new state of balance
The Hungarian Turkey Association is preparing for the Christmas period and is confident that the safety and quality of Hungarian origin will continue to be of value to consumers. The turkey sector (also) faced and is facing many challenges, such as the significant increase in the price of input materials, decreasing consumption, or the reduction of slaughter plant capacities, concentration. Annual summary from the Hungarian Turkey Association.
The Hungarian poultry sector is the livestock sector with the highest production value. With the annual production of about 700,000 tons of slaughter poultry and the production of about 1.2 billion table eggs, it produces a value of about HUF 500-550 billion at the level of raw material production.
Within the poultry sector, the turkey’s share of slaughter animal production in 2022 was 12.68%, which is approximately half of the value in 2002 (27.11%). The decreasing ratio can be partly attributed to the lower production volume and partly to the intensive growth of the chicken and roast duck sectors. Although the entire turkey sector is going through a difficult period, the association is committed to searching for and finding breakthrough points in the sector that can make turkey and its quality products popular and loved by consumers again.
