VIDEO: Poultry industry should be profitable in 2021

2021 should be a good year for the U.S. broiler industry as increased COVID-19 vaccination revives foodservice demand. In a WATT Poultry Chat interview, Christine McCracken, executive director for animal protein at Rabobank, reviewed the company’s outlook for the second quarter of 2021. Better times should be ahead, thanks to increased vaccination in the U.S., which should mean the industry, on average, will be profitable in 2021. However, it will need to monitor feed supplies and prices, too.
