Earlier Report Observations

The New Zealand turkey meat and offal market saw initial volatility, with volume dipping to 1 187 t in 2019 before recovering to 1 326 t in 2020.

From 2021 onward, the market entered a period of consistent growth. The introduction of mandatory country-of-origin labelling for fresh and thawed products enhanced consumer trust, while a shift in dietary preferences toward turkey as a high-protein, year-round food source boosted overall consumption.

These drivers helped push the total market volume to 1 775 t by 2023, a substantial increase from the 1 269 t level observed in 2018.
