America’s urgent wing crisis

“The United States faces a severe chicken wing shortage, yet you’ll be forgiven for not knowing this. The media are distracted by less important shortages, like flu vaccines and full-time jobs. The talking heads of cable TV prattle on about the usual nonsense: the war in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan, the on-going financial crisis, our broken health care system, and the increasing likelihood of mass extinctions from global warming.”

Commodity costs may pressure chains in ’10

“(Nov. 09, 2009) After a year of profit-friendly reductions in commodity pricing for nearly everything but chicken wings, the cost of which has risen on high demand, many restaurateurs are bracing for a tougher purchasing environment in 2010, where little wiggle room will be available for even slight commodity inflation.

Chicken wing prices have risen on high demand in 2009, and experts believe even a slight increase in commodity costs in 2010 will have dire effects for restaurants on tight budgets.

Though most restaurant chains project that their 2010 commodity costs are likely to either remain flat or increase slightly from 2009 levels, there is not as much leeway to react to increased costs, given that top lines remain stubbornly flat and consumers have little tolerance for menu price hikes. Even more, cost-cutting moves like menu re-engineering or supply chain efficiency building have already been completed, observers note.

“2010 will not be a good year for the industry,” said John T. Barone, president of Market Vision Inc., a consulting firm specializing in purchasing, and a contributing editor to Nation’s Restaurant News. “Most operators have done a lot this year to adjust their operations, and they are not sure what else they can do to squeeze more out.”

While Barone expects commodity cost escalation won’t be significant in 2010, he said even a slight increase could be enough to hurt restaurants that are just scraping by using reduced costs to offset reduced sales.”

Ongoing Wing Crisis. David Maloni speaks.

David Maloni, the principal for the American Restaurant Association:

“My personal opinion is that chicken wings are an “event.”  And “event” dining, especially relatively inexpensive “event” dining, will continue to do pretty well with a challenged consumer. 

Capacity is still being reduced. Chicken production this year is anticipated to decline as an annual average by roughly 4 percent. This will mark the first annual decline in US chicken production in 34 years. Chicken exports are mediocre and chicken breast demand remains very soft, so even though we are experiencing record wholesale wing prices, chicken producer margins remain challenged which suggests that capacity may continue to be reduced.

Chicken wings may be the canary in the coal mine for other foods in the coming years. Beef production, pork production, and dairy production will all decline this year and likely next year as well. 

Believe it or not, this is all traced back to inflated crude oil prices and the growth of bio fuels, especially ethanol, as inflated feed prices are really the impetus behind the overall food production declines and the major chicken producer filing for bankruptcy earlier this year. “

Bad news, victim of their own success? Have we created a hot sauce bubble (when they burst, watch out!)? Wing market meltdown?

“We told you in January about the plight of the chicken wing. The nation’s largest producer of wings filed for bankruptcy and the demand of the playoffs and the Super Bowl just drove prices through the roof, or so we thought.

Well, today the New York Times has this most amazing statistic: “In seven of the last 11 months, wholesale wing prices have been higher than breast prices.”  “
