RaboResearch reports US ready-to-cook chicken production rose 4.5% year-on-year in Q2 2026, with slaughter up 3.4% and bird weights slightly higher. Composite chicken prices averaged 10% below a year earlier, and boneless breast is 37% below year-ago and five-year averages.
Surplus supply is weighing on chicken prices, and the bank sees little relief before a seasonal fall production cut lifts the market in Q4. Feed buyers should expect weak poultry demand for feed in the near term.
