“The carcass and fillet are practically not loaded.” Large poultry farms suspended shipments due to equipment problems

“Due to a technical failure at the production site, the order for the poultry segment will not be fulfilled as of the delivery date of May 24, 2023,” Cherkizovo reports.

Severnaya, in a letter dated May 22, said that “due to the reduced volume of c / b MEAT (broiler chicken. - Ed.), the shipment of goods from the 21st week is carried out in limited quantities.”

According to market participants, against the backdrop of a shortage, prices crept up again. “Chicken carcass and breast fillet are practically not loaded. We are forced to order wherever possible and much more expensive, ”said the source in one of the networks.

Cherkizovo reported that the decrease in supply volumes, which the company informed partners about, was due to "temporary failures in the operation of equipment and a lack of staff." “Currently, both problems have been resolved, the supply situation is stabilizing,” the press service said.

The problem with the operation of equipment for the processing of slaughter products was previously reported by Severnaya, explaining the sharp increase in prices in April. This happened due to a shortage of components after foreign manufacturers left the Russian market. The cost of logistics and packaging is also on the rise.
