the overage for tenders fell to 3.5%.
Breaking down and analyzing these
types of historical tendencies should
allow players to be nimbler with their
decision making moving forward and
shed some light on an otherwise
unexplored market.
As far as the evolving landscape
is concerned, ongoing issues with
hatchability and livability, as well
as the aforementioned higher
production price tag, have some
players pulling back from their
production levels. Meanwhile, others
are doubling down. One thing that is
for certain is that consumers continue
to express a desire for NAE offerings.
And retailers on a national scale
are responding. According to USDA
retail data for the end of July, feature
activity grew almost 5.5% compared
to the same time period last year.
This signals a growing trend for items
in the space which doesn't appear to
be going away any time soon.
Moving forward, our reporting office is committed to maintaining the rigorous standards
mandated by Urner Barry's Reporting Methodology, as well as refining and growing the initiative
to better align with our stakeholders' needs. Initiated on January 2, 2023, Urner Barry's NAE
Chicken Table is quoted twice a week on Tuesday and Thursday and includes whole chickens,
tenders, boneless breast, lmbusardo@urnerbarry.com, and thigh meat.
