Right now there is a shortage of product within the industry that is impacting everyone across the board with wing shortages of over 30% on many PO's industry wide.
Reasons for the industry shortage...
5 jumbo bird plants have reduced their bird weights to either retail or fast food segments which has taken millions of lbs. off the street.
The industry as a whole is facing a shortage of chickens due to the lack of performance in the field thus fewer chickens being brought to plants daily.
The food service industry is opening back up causing additional shortages after a prolonged period of no movement.
Restaurants have changed their menus catering to take out business with high levels of focus centered on wings and tenders.
Retail/grocery stores are experiencing a tremendous pick-up in poultry business due to price points being the cheapest protein available.
We are anticipating this shortage to last, at least, an additional 60 days if not longer. Unfortunately the world we now live in is going to be the norm until grain prices drop and the industry is available to entertain more growth.
