A wide range of poultry products are traded and are aggregated in the model into two distinct categories: high-value and low-value products. The high-value poultry product includes white meat (breasts and wings) of chicken and turkey along with de- boned meat and specialty items. Low-value poultry is comprised of mainly dark meat (drumsticks and thighs) of chicken and turkey. 3 White and dark meats are produced in essentially equal and fixed amounts per bird and are thus treated as jointly produced goods in the model. The distinction among trade flows in high-value and low-value products is a reflection.
