Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for turkey meat and offal in MERCOSUR reached 169.7 thousand tons in 2019 but then began a sustained decline, falling to 147.5 thousand tons by 2021.

In 2022, market volume dropped to 137.2 thousand tons as exports surged to 56.8 thousand tons. This shift was supported by Minerva Foods' acquisition of BPU Meat in Uruguay, which significantly expanded slaughter capacity and redirected more production toward foreign markets.

A sharp contraction followed in 2023, with market volume plummeting to 102.3 thousand tons. Production fell by over 29 thousand tons, influenced by global avian influenza outbreaks that constrained supply, while exports continued to grow, further limiting domestic availability.
