Abstract
Population growth patterns and shifts in poultry production during the past 10 years caused major changes in the regional supply-consumption balances for poultry products. The South continues increasing its share of both broilers and turkeys. However, the southward movement of egg production peaked in 1979-80 and has now reversed itself, with rapid expansion in the East North Central region. More broiler and turkey meat but fewer eggs are being shipped between regions.
