In this inaugural episode of the MeatingPod Editor’s Roundtable, Meatingplace Co-Editor-in-Chief Tom Johnston and Managing Editor Peter Ricci discuss the state of the poultry processing industry and where the protein may be headed in the near future. Both editors have covered protein processing businesses for years and offer their insights regarding poultry demand fluctuations. Tom and Peter also describe how the industry is covered in Meatingplace through contacts with processing managers through trade show visits, webinars and other one-on-one channels. The discussion also covers the impact of avian influenza and some of the more unusual observations they’ve seen across the poultry industry over time.
