While Chicken Meat Production Reaches a Peak, Egg Production Declines.

The Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) announced important data for September 2025. According to the report, Turkey's poultry farming sector has achieved a significant increase in chicken meat production. In the country, chicken meat production reached 228,846 tons. This high figure indicates an increase in consumption and demand for chicken meat.

However, alongside this positive development, an unexpected decrease occurred in chicken egg production. In September, Turkey produced a total of 1.73 billion eggs. This figure shows a significant decline compared to previous periods. This drop in egg production is attributed by many experts to various factors.

The increase in chicken meat production can be viewed as an indicator of the sector's growth potential, while the decrease in egg production becomes a notable issue for the poultry farming sector. The potential pressure on egg prices and how it will affect consumers remains a topic of interest.

Market analysts indicate that this rise in chicken meat is related to increasing domestic demand and export opportunities. Particularly, the impact of healthy eating trends has increased interest in chicken meat. However, the decline in egg production is emerging as a concerning development regarding the sustainability of the food chain.

In conclusion, while Turkey's poultry farming sector has a strong production capacity for chicken meat, analyzing the reasons behind the decrease in egg production and taking necessary measures are of great importance to maintain the balance in the sector.
