COVID Will Influence Seasonal Turkey Consumption

10/17/2020

According to an October 8th article in The New York Times COVID restrictions and an emerging disinclination for families to gather in large groups will affect turkey sales. Smaller gatherings obviously will reduce the demand for large birds with selection shifting from whole roasters to breasts, wings and legs.

 

A survey conducted by Chicago-based Numerator involving the attitudes of 2,000 shoppers suggests that 70 percent of consumers will modify their usual Thanksgiving and Christmas festivities.

 

In addition to COVID, the economic situation and uncertainty will reduce spending on gifts with half of the respondents intending to spend less in 2020 than in previous years.  Only six percent of those surveyed envisage purchasing more over the 2020 Christmas and New Year periods.
