The great turkey price debate continues

Turkey hens sold for about $1.65 per lb last autumn, Purdue’s Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability found, while they are expected to fetch $2.05 per lb on average this Thanksgiving.

A 12lb turkey costs wholesalers about $19, almost 70 per cent more than last autumn, the Department of Agriculture said. Supermarkets will therefore charge about $25 for a 12lb Thanksgiving bird, a quarter more than last year, researchers at Purdue University have forecast.

However, prices vary significantly as some supermarkets prefer to price their turkeys as loss leaders, encouraging customers to do the rest of their holiday shopping in their store. 

The American Farm Bureau Federation’s Thanksgiving consumer survey found turkeys advertised at less than $1 per lb by some retailers, despite the almost 70 per cent wholesale price increase on last year.

So good!

You should read the article. Turkey is more expensive (as with everything else).

Turkey costs more overall, 70% according to Purdue’s Center for Food Demand Analysis and Sustainability. Being a IU Hoosier I normally don’t listen to those hillbillies from up north for anything but they do know agriculture.

Some retailers choose to subsidize the cost of the bird knowing people will buy all the other shet there.

According to the Purdue people and the American Farm Bureau Federation (whatever that is) wholesale turkey prices are up 70%. That’s what the turkey experts are going with.

So the wholesale prices are higher but the retailers are selling it below cost?

It seems so in some cases. With the expectation that people will buy all the other shet at the same trip.

I got to thinking about something so I asked AI: 

What is the price of turkey in the country Turkey?

AI Overview

The price of turkey meat in Turkey (the country) is approximately $2.12 USD per kilogram for whole chicken meat (turkey-specific whole bird data is less readily available, but general poultry prices are a good indicator). This price is significantly lower than the global average.
