The production of duck meat in the US has seen fluctuations over the last decade, with notable declines in certain years such as 2016 and 2020. However, overall production trended upwards, culminating in 66.8 thousand metric tons in 2023. Year-on-year variation over the past two years was 1.01% from 2022 to 2023 and -0.94% from 2021 to 2022. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years was relatively modest at 0.88%.
