Tridge summary

In the first two months of 2024, U.S. broiler exports saw a 7.2 percent decrease in volume compared to the previous year, largely due to reduced shipments to China, yet the export value marginally rose by 0.7 percent to $751.8 million. Despite the overall decline, exports to several countries including Taiwan, the UAE, and the Philippines significantly increased, with Mexico maintaining its position as the top market with a slight uptick in shipments. Conversely, turkey exports experienced a remarkable surge, with a 142 percent increase in volume and a 113 percent rise in value, predominantly to Mexico. This reflects the dynamic nature of poultry export markets and the contrasting fortunes of broiler and turkey exports.
