Earlier Report Observations

The Canadian turkey meat and offal market contracted from 152.1 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 126.6 thousand tonnes in 2021. This multi-year decline coincided with a reduction in domestic production over the same period.

Market volume recovered to 139.1 thousand tonnes by 2023. This rebound was supported by an increase in the quantity of poultry meat imports entering Canada at lower prices, which helped balance domestic supply. Simultaneously, the poultry processing sector navigated challenges from rising farmgate costs and high frozen inventory levels.

In 2024, consumer preference for poultry as a primary protein source remained strong, with seasonal demand highlighted by the sale of 2.7 million whole turkeys during the Christmas period. Regulatory focus also intensified, with updated labeling rules requiring clear declaration of retained water in giblets and inspection legends for interprovincial trade.
