ducksThe Duck Sector Group represents duck farmers and integrated duck producers and processors, responsible for 90% of British duck sales. It is the most comprehensive body representing duck in the country. Duck accounts for some 5% of the primary meat market. In 2006 some 18 million ducklings were reared for meat in Britain.
