With 6,000 professional farms and 64,000 employees (38,500 in the breeding phase and 25,500 processing workers), Italy produced 1,374,000 tons of meat in 2021 (-1.14% on 2020), equal to 108% of consumption. 12.1 billion eggs are produced, with a supply rate of 97%. Overall, the sector is worth 5.9 billion euros (4,830 million for meat and 1,070 million for eggs). Exports of meat are recovering (+ 8.3%), especially chicken, which has risen to 131 thousand tons (+ 12.2%). To take stock of the poultry sector is Unaitalia, the association that represents over 90% of the national poultry production, during the annual meeting in Rome. However, after the strong growth of the last 5 years (2017-2021), in which poultry meat recorded an increase in purchases of 9% in quantity and 19% in value, showing a much more favorable trend than in the entire meat sector, the sector now records the first signs of realignment in 2019. A slight decline in domestic use, equal to 1 million 267 thousand tons (-2%) and per capita consumption (-0.5%), arrived to 21.43 kg (Ismea / Unaitalia data). 72% Italians eat chicken at least once a week Also in the first quarter of 2022, in response to the increase in average prices, consumer demand shows the first signs of contraction (-11% in volume on Q1 2021), realigning itself to the pre-pandemic volumes in the first quarter of 2019 (86 thousand tons). However, spending remains 4% higher than in the first three months of 2021 (Ismea data). Chicken meat remains by far the most consumed meat by Italians, even in 2021: 72% eat it at least once a week, like meat and fish, followed at a long distance by beef (54%), pork ( 50%), calf (46%). On average, chicken is eaten almost twice a week (Doxa 2021 data). The origin of raw materials is in fact the first driver of choice in purchasing white meat and eggs (indicated by 66% of consumers) in combination with the sustainability of the products which is increasingly becoming a guiding element in purchases, especially of eggs (14%), white meat and red meat (both 9%), after fresh bread (10%). (Ismea data May 2022).
