About Chicken

Tracked via a US wholesale benchmark (whole birds, ready-to-cook). The fastest-growing meat globally, since chickens convert feed to meat far more efficiently than cattle and reach market weight in weeks rather than years. The US, Brazil and China are the largest producers; prices track feed costs (corn and soybean meal) closely and are periodically disrupted by avian flu outbreaks, which can trigger mass culls and trade restrictions.

Latest World price (2026-08): +4% vs. the 5-year average, -7% vs. the 10-year average, +1% vs. a year ago.
