Soaring Demand Seen
For Processed Turkey

foods could double by 1965,

publication from the U.S.
Department of Agriculture
(USDA). Use of turkey in
such processed forms could
account for most of the
-.•-'-StfK'Sn
w
expansion in the market for
turkey meat.
The report by USDA’s
Economic Research Service
notes that a fourth of the
nearly 400 plants further
processing turkey in 1972
produced rolls and roasts
valued at $250 million. Both
the number of plants
processing turkey and the
output of these two products
have increased dramatically
during the last decade. The
heavier pre-cooked rolls of
deboned turkey meat and
binders have long been
produced for institutional
serving. The newer oven
ready, family-sized roasts,
however, have recently
become important in volume
and value.
Although production of
rolls and roasts is con
centrated in the West North
Central States, new plants
have proliferated in other
regions such as the Nor
theast.'Based on simulations
of plant operating costs, the
study points out that larger
and better utilized plants can
produce rolls and roasts for
much less than many
smaller concerns now do.
Such efficiencies will be
needed during the coming
decade to offset rising
production costs.
Per capita consumption of
turkey rolls and roasts in
1972 was estimated to be
about 1.2 pounds annually,
about 40 percent of the total
consumption of further
processed turkey products
and 13 percent of aU turkey
meat consumed.
