Factors Affecting Turkey Meat Prices
Turkey meat prices in Mexico have been on the rise in recent years, due to a number of factors. The cost of feed, transportation, and labor have all increased, while the availability of turkeys has decreased. This has led many producers to raise prices, in order to offset these higher costs.
The Mexican government has also implemented a number of policies that have contributed to higher turkey meat prices. For example, import tariffs on turkey products have been increased, which has made it more expensive for producers to source turkeys from outside of the country. Additionally, environmental regulations have been tightened, which has led to higher costs for producers who need to meet these standards.
Another factor that has contributed to rising turkey meat prices is the peso's depreciation against the US dollar. This has made imports of turkey meat more expensive and has also led to inflationary pressures within Mexico.
