United States Exports of Turkey Meat To World Total (2024-2025)
Exports in 2025 have consistently outpaced 2024 levels, with notable growth into June.
This chart compares U.S. turkey meat export values (in thousands) for the first six months of 2024 and 2025. In every month, 2025 exports (green bars) are higher than in 2024 (red bars). The gap becomes most pronounced in June, where 2025 exports exceeded 60,000, compared to just over 50,000 in 2024. For purchasers, this upward trend suggests stronger international demand, which could translate into firmer pricing and tighter supply availability in the domestic market. Nutritionists may need to account for potential cost increases in formulations if turkey byproducts are used in feed blends. Trade dynamics—possibly driven by shifting protein demand in key import markets—are likely influencing these higher volumes. This trend may also reflect improved production or competitiveness of U.S. turkey exports. Will the continued year-over-year growth in exports place upward pressure on domestic turkey product costs? Could nutritionists start evaluating alternative protein sources if turkey byproducts remain in high demand internationally?
