A short supply of workers led to lower turkey output and higher prices on the backdrop of consistently strong consumer demand. Turkey imports to the U.S. maintained the previous year’s levels. Canada and Chile remain the only turkey suppliers to America. Unprecedented inflation rates have struck the entire food sector, in October 2021, price increases for meats, poultry, fish and eggs became the highest recorded in the past 30 years.

Abstract: The present study evaluates the economic viability of four different models of beef cattle production in the rio Vermelho hydrographic basin. The study focuses on the traditional extensive ranching system, which was compared to three intensive systems, one based on low levels of concentrated supplementation, a second with low levels of concentrated supplementation and confinement for fattening and an intensive grazing system, with supplementation during the dry and rainy seasons. The investments were estimated for the different levels of technical specifications of each system. The net present values and internal return rate were used for the assessment of the economic viability of the project, considering the minimum rate of attractiveness, equivalent to the inflation-adjusted savings interest rate (6.17%). The continuity of the sector was evaluated based on the gross and net margins, and profitability rates, where the system is already installed. All four systems had gross and net margins and profitability consistent with their economic sustainability over both the short and long terms. However, only two systems (reduced consumption of concentrated supplements and the intensive grazing system) were economically viable as start-ups.

Over the five years through 2025-26, UK butchers’ revenue is expected to decline at a compound annual growth rate of 5.1% to £3.2 billion, including a fall of 1.8% in 2025-26. This contraction largely stems from shifting consumer preferences, as shoppers increasingly choose supermarkets and alternative proteins for convenience and price. High inflation and soaring meat prices, especially for beef and lamb, have squeezed household budgets and shifted demand toward poultry and value cuts. Smaller independents face heightened pressure from these trends alongside intense competition from large retailers. Profit margins have tightened considerably amid sustained cost inflation. Food inflation peaked at 19.1% in March 2023 and, while easing to 4.4% by May 2025, input prices remain elevated. Labour costs have risen sharply, with the National Living Wage increasing to £12.21 in April 2025. Independent butchers, relying on skilled, hands-on staff, find it difficult to absorb these higher expenses without impacting profitability. Larger chains and vertically integrated suppliers are better positioned to manage cost volatility, contributing to a modest consolidation trend in the sector. The industry is forecast to stabilise, with revenue expected to grow at a compound annual rate of 0.8% over the five years through 2030-31 to £3.3 billion. Growth drivers include expanded ready-to-cook and value-added product ranges, which cater to time-poor consumers seeking convenience without sacrificing quality. Digital channels and home delivery services are expected to widen customer reach, especially for premium butchers investing in e-commerce infrastructure. Sustainability and ethical sourcing will remain essential to consumers, prompting butchers to diversify offerings with organic, local and pasture-raised products. Despite ongoing challenges, UK butchers are adapting through innovation, modernisation and stronger community engagement. Investments in technology, shop refurbishments and marketing initiatives help enhance customer experiences and loyalty. While profitability pressures persist, strategic consolidation and evolving consumer trends provide a foundation for steady, if modest, industry growth.
