# State of the Industry: Chicken positioned for gains | The National Provisioner

> The National Provisioner outlook says chicken production has been rising above the five-year average since mid-2024, with abundant corn and soybean harvests keeping feed costs manageable. Cold storage chicken inventories are below year-ago levels and the beef cattle cycle downturn is expected to persist until at least 2027.
