USDA's Economic Research Service outlook projects US broiler production rising 2.3% to 42.6 billion lb in 2018, with total meat and poultry output near 104 billion lb. Prices are expected to be slightly lower as production growth outpaces export gains.
Higher broiler output with only partly offsetting exports points to softer chicken prices and some pressure on demand for feed grains and meal.
