Frozen Chicken MSM Prices, Demand and Supply Overview
China paid the most for frozen chicken MSM in Q3 2026: USD 1,150/MT, up 1.5% from USD 1,133/MT in Q2. High import costs and steady demand from meat processors keep Chinese prices above the other three markets. Worldwide, the average rose 1.3% to USD 982/MT from USD 969/MT, mostly because higher feed and freight costs and firm demand from meat processors led processors to raise prices in all four markets. What about Q4 2026? We expect a global average somewhere in the USD 955-1,035/MT range, with chicken output, feed costs, bird flu outbreaks, freight costs and demand from meat processors doing most of the work.
Frozen chicken MSM is mechanically separated meat, a paste recovered from chicken bones and carcass parts after the main cuts are removed. It is used in sausages, nuggets, hot dogs, pet food and other processed meat, and is sold frozen in blocks. Prices in this report refer to frozen chicken MSM in 15 to 20 kilogram blocks and are quoted per metric ton. They depend on chicken output, feed costs, freight costs and demand from meat processors.
Brazil, the United States, Poland and Thailand are large producers, because MSM is a by-product of chicken cutting plants. Processors freeze it in blocks soon after the production. Trade is governed by food safety rules and plant approvals, and some countries limit its use in retail products.
Frozen Chicken MSM Price Forecast for 2026
Prices should rise modestly through the rest of 2026. Feed and freight costs are firm and demand from meat processors is steady. Large chicken output in Brazil limits the size of the increase. Year on year, the global average has moved from USD 940/MT to USD 982/MT, an increase of 4.5%.
For Q4, risks to the price are evenly spread. What could push prices higher? Bird flu outbreaks, higher feed costs or stronger demand from meat processors would lift prices. What could pull them lower? Larger chicken output, lower feed costs or weaker demand from meat processors would lower prices.
| Region | 2026 Price Range (USD/MT) | Outlook |
| Global Average | 955 - 1,035 | Firm feed and freight costs support a modest rise |
| Brazil | 800 - 865 | Large poultry output and low feed costs keep prices lowest |
| United States | 915 - 990 | Large domestic output supports prices |
| Poland | 995 - 1,075 | Strong European demand supports prices |
| China | 1,120 - 1,215 | Import costs and demand from meat processors keep prices highest |
