One consumer benefit from increased exports has occurred. While American consumers prefer white meat, overseas’ customers prefer chicken’s dark meat. Thanks to increased exports, American consumers are seeing more affordable bone-in chicken breasts, boneless/skinless breasts, and similar products. This has resulted from greatly expanded exports of dark meat and greatly expanded boneless production. Since more chickens need to be cut up to meet rising export demand, more breast meat is pro vided for the domestic market and prices are more affordable.
