poultry still number one

Mississippi’s poultry industry remains the state’s No. 1 agricultural commodity with a total estimated production value of $3.7 billion in 2025.

An increase in broiler production and stronger egg prices led to a slight rise in the production value of Mississippi’s poultry industry for 2025.

Ranking first among Mississippi’s agricultural commodities for the 31st consecutive year, the poultry industry posted a total estimated production value of $3.73 billion. That’s a 2.3% increase from 2024.
