Analyzing the Factors Affecting the Price of Broiler Chicken in Turkey Using the Boosting Regression Method

Abstract

Investigating the factors that affect broiler chicken prices in Turkey is vital for understanding market formation. The parameters and factors likely to influence the price of broiler chicken were analyzed for the period between 2010-2020 in Turkey. The study adopted the boosting regression model to predict the correlation between broiler chicken consumer price and variable factors like broiler feed, corn, soybean meal, wheat prices, the dollar exchange rate, producer price index (PPI), and agricultural PPI. The accuracy of the estimation of the regression model created according to the results of the analysis was calculated as 86%. The producer price index variable caused the highest relative impact (25.63%) on broiler chicken meat prices. The highest positive correlation was obtained between the producer price index and the agricultural PPI (r = 0.984). Thus, it was determined that chicken prices were affected by feed raw material prices and the general economic conditions in Turkey. In addition to improving the prevailing economic conditions, an effective price control mechanism is required to prevent excessive price fluctuations in the sector. Simultaneously, it is essential to create policies to reduce input costs.

Fluctuations and disparity in broiler and carcass price before during and after covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia

“…These values were considered statistically significant at a significance level (α) of less than 0.01. Furthermore, they reflected the relationship between strong and very strong broiler price in a specific region compared to the national level [ 48 ]. The coefficient value ( β 1 ) was below one ( β 1 < 1) for the time periods before, during, and after COVID-19 pandemic.…”

Price transmission between maize and poultry product markets in the Visegrád Group countries: What is more nonlinear, egg or chicken?

“…The results showed that 40% of the variations in corn prices were transmitted to chicken prices, the price transmission between the markets was unidirectional and the corn price seemed to be weakly exogenous. Arikan et al (2022) analysed the parameters and factors likely to influence the price of broiler chickens in Turkey and concluded that chicken prices were affected by the raw material prices for feed. Xu et al (2011) examined the vertical price relationship between upstream and downstream products in China's layer industry chain by using cointegration tests, error correction models and finite distributed lag models, and they found that the influence of corn and feed prices on egg prices was still stronger than that of egg-laying chicken prices.…”
