# Poultry Council Report November 2021 - Irish Farmers' Association

> The Irish Farmers' Association Poultry Council reports that broiler margins are squeezed because processors cannot pass on rising feed and processing costs to retailers. Demand for chicken fell in summer 2021 as foodservice remained weak, and egg markets are oversupplied in some grades.

## Why it matters

Higher grain and protein feed costs are squeezing Irish poultry producers, which could reduce broiler placements and feed intake over time. Ongoing oversupply in eggs limits the price support for layer feed demand.
