Grain prices continue to be favorable
Feed Markets Markets and economics Market trends Grain prices worldwide continue to be favorable for the poultry industry. A huge harvest last year in the US of corn and soybeans combined with continued growth in production in South America means that poultry producers worldwide are likely to enjoy a robust bear market in grain.
Grain bear market helps the world poultry industry
Feed Markets Markets and economics Market trends Corn and soybean meal prices are currently in a ferocious bear market. Ample world supplies combined with slow growth in demand is resulting in a windfall for the poultry industry. It is certainly not good news for grain producers, but it is great news for the poultry industry. Of course, the low-price party can be ruined by a drought in one or more of the important growing areas.
Bear market in grain continues
Feed Markets Markets and economics Market trends Aviagen Broiler Economics series Grain prices continue to fall. A large harvest this year in the US of corn and soybeans combined with continued growth in production in South America means that poultry producers worldwide are likely to continue enjoying low grain prices. Low grain prices may well last for another year. However, it is important to remember that bear markets eventually end so enjoy this one while it lasts.
Drought scare over but volatile prices remain
Feed Markets Markets and economics Market trends Broiler Economics by Aviagen Download the issue After crops were planted this year in the US Corn belt, the rain was late to start falling. Some areas had their driest spring ever. As a result, a drought scare sent prices soaring. Prices eased in the last two months as enough rain arrived to avert a disaster.
Grain prices will eventually retreat
Market trends Markets & policy Broilers Aviagen's Broiler Economics High grain prices in crop year 2022-2023 have been a huge burden for the poultry industry. When will grain prices settle down to more normal levels? Although no one can say for sure what will be the direction of grain prices, it seems increasingly likely that relief in the form of lower grain prices will arrive no later than crop year 2023-2024 (Crop years start in September).
Growth slows and grain prices retreat in 2023
Markets and economics Market trends Markets & policy Broiler Economics from Aviagen's Dr. Paul Aho The world economy grew rapidly in 2021 and 2022 while interest rates were extremely low. Rapid growth resulted in rising inflation and supply chain problems. To make matters worse, a war broke out in a grain basket. The resulting supply shortage resulted in inflation in the price of most goods and services, including grain. The year 2023 will be different in several ways.
Broiler Economics: 2022 - a year of inflation and volatile markets
Feed commodity markets Policy and regulation Markets & policy Dr. Paul Aho highlights the the economic drivers in 2022 At the beginning of 2022, the world economy was growing rapidly, interest rates were extremely low, supply chain problems were at their maximum and a war broke out in a grain basket. The resulting supply shortage compared to demand resulted in rapid inflation in the price of most goods and services.
Broiler Economics: The world economy begins to recover
The world economy is expanding robustly in comparison with last year despite being bedeviled by the pandemic, inflation, an energy crisis, and labor shortages. Eventually those problems will diminish in importance, but it will take months or years to fully emerge from the massive disruption caused by COVID. All industries, including the chicken industry, have been affected by this economic turmoil. It all began, of course, in early 2020.
Aviagen Broiler Economics. Bear Market part 1: Feed
A robust bull market in grain, and indeed in many different commodities, started in August of 2020. Over the next several months the price of corn doubled and soybean meal rose 50%. In May of this year, prices probably reached their peak. Barring a Midwest drought, which appears increasingly unlikely, the highest prices are now in the rear-view mirror and grain prices will continue to moderate. If May was indeed the top of the market, a bear market mood is starting to settle in.
Aviagen Broiler Economics. Bear Market part 2: US chicken industry
The US chicken industry, like a lot of industries, was reluctant to expand production last year in the teeth of the COVID-19 recession. In addition, production was constrained by the effects of the disease itself on processing plants. When the economy and meat demand started recovering faster than imagined this year, the supply of chicken turned out to be surprisingly short. All chicken prices rose, especially wing prices.

Crop stress in Argentina - Zootecnica International
Lack of rain on the Pampas in Argentina this year lowered estimates for the Argentine harvest of corn and soybeans. With that notable exception, prospects are good for grain consumers like the poultry industry; grain prices remain relatively low and stable. Unfortunately, low prices are providing a powerful incentive to consume grain by a world economy that is growing and demanding more meat. In addition, adverse weather conditions could break out in other areas.
12 people who transformed US poultry production
One hundred years ago, as the first WATT issue of Poultry Tribune was about to be published, nearly half of all Americans worked in farming and most farmers owned poultry of some kind. The crowing of roosters woke the nation every morning. Today, only 2 percent of Americans work on…
Global food companies will control the poultry industry
The world poultry industry is not immune to the titanic struggle for and against globalization as well as the unopposed disruption of the internet. It is safe to say that, in the not-too-distant future, all poultry businesses will be global internet businesses or they will not be in business at…
With poultry, we are in the right business
If there was some food for thought that I brought back home after last week’s 25th Latin American Poultry Congress in Guadalajara, Mexico, it was this: with poultry, we are in the right business. I think there are many reasons to the rationale behind what Paul Aho said in his presentation during the congress. For one thing, Paul talked about the good times to come for the poultry industry in Latin America in the medium term.
