In 2023, the UK produced 136.0 thousand metric tons of turkeys. The forecast for 2024 shows a decline to 132.2 thousand metric tons. From 2024 to 2028, production is expected to fall steadily, marking a year-on-year decrease of approximately 2.6% over this period. By 2028, production is forecasted to reach 118.85 thousand metric tons, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -2.56% for the five-year span.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards alternative proteins, changes in trade policies post-Brexit that could affect import dynamics, and the impact of sustainability initiatives on production practices.
