Producers

15. Turkey producers can be divided into two groups: relatively large companies whose farms produce turkeys all year round; and relatively small companies and farmers, whose farms produce turkeys primarily for the seasonal market. The non-seasonal producers account for approximately 90% of the output of the UK industry and are dominated by three major companies. The seasonal producers account for the remaining approximately 10%, but the number of holdings upon which turkeys are grown for Christmas is large.
