| 8434 | German pork exports decline due to FMD | Pork exports from Germany to other countries decreased between January and February 2025 compared to the same period last year. This is primarily due to the FMD-related import bans imposed on German pork following the single FMD case in Brandenburg, AMI recently reports. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to AMI, Germany's pork exports declined in January and February 2025. The exported volume during this period totaled 355,300 t, 3 percent lower than in the same period last year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This decline in pork exports is primarily due to the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD) in water buffalo in Germany in January on a farm in Brandenburg. This resulted in import bans on German pork being imposed in important third countries, making sales in third countries almost impossible for German exporters. As a result, according to AMI, third-country exports fell to 44,000 tonnes in January to February 2025, a drop of more than a quarter.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Although trade to customers within the EU increased during this period, the decline in exports to countries outside the EU could not be offset. Exports to Italy, the most important buyer of German pork, increased by 11 percent. The Netherlands, the second most important buyer, also received slightly more volume than in the same period last year (+2 percent).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Particularly painful was the FMD-related slump in exports to Great Britain, the most important trading partner outside the EU, which fell by 64 percent. At the end of March, the United Kingdom recognized regionalization for foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), and trade with Germany has since resumed. Since mid-March, Germany has been largely FMD-free; the last restrictions in the so-called containment zone were lifted in mid-April. AMI therefore expects pork exports to increase in the coming months.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-04-28 00:25:59 | 2025-09-23 01:53:30 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7768 | EU pork exports at stable level | In the first seven months of this year, the amount of pork exported by EU member states to third countries was at a comparable level to the same period last year. In contrast to some other EU countries, Germany was able to significantly increase its exports, reports the Agricultural Market Information Company (AMI). | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to AMI, pork exports from the EU to third countries remained stable overall from January to July 2024. According to current data from the EU Commission, EU member states exported 2.36 million tonnes in the first seven months of this year, a comparable amount to the same period last year. Despite the overall stable quantities, the individual countries developed quite differently.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">With exports of 756,000 t of product weight and a market share of 32%, Spain continues to lead the European suppliers. In Spain, the amount of pork listed remained stable compared to the previous year. Behind Spain in second and third place are the Netherlands and Denmark, which each had to record slight declines in exports with a minus of 4% and 1% respectively. Germany ranked fourth among the largest exporters with a market share of 9% and was able to achieve a significant increase of around 17% in pork deliveries to third countries from January to July 2024. France, Ireland, Belgium and Italy also increased pork exports, thereby offsetting declines in other EU countries overall.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">China continues to be the most important buyer of European pork, accounting for more than a quarter of total exports. However, according to AMI, pork exports to China were almost 7% lower than last year. In contrast, an almost stable amount of pork was exported from the EU to the United Kingdom, which is also an important buyer. While trade with some Asian countries remains difficult due to the outbreak of African swine fever in some European countries, South Korea and the Philippines have each increased imports by more than a fifth since the beginning of the year.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-09-30 00:30:53 | 2025-09-23 01:14:03 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8216 | Rabobank: Pork producers cautious about herd expansion | Rabobank’s Global Pork Quarterly Q1 2025 report explained how the pork industry remains cautious about herd expansion even with lower feed costs and improved productivity than the previous year. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to Chenjun Pan, senior analyst for Animal Protein at Rabobank, potential policy changes by the United States and its trading partners have added uncertainty to labor availability, capital allocation and global trade.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">He said President Donald Trump's tariff policies will likely cause some diversion of commodity trade, but the extent of the impact remains uncertain. </p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Other pork insights included monitoring disease outbreaks that continue to impact markets, such as African swine fever (ASF) in Asia and Europe, along with porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus (PRRSv) worldwide and a recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease (FMD) in Germany.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Changes to countries’ disease statutes could disrupt global trade,” Rabobank said. “The suspension of German pork imports by several countries highlights how disease poses a challenge to supply chains. Biosecurity will remain a key issue for the industry, with opportunities to invest in improving animal health".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Addressing disease requires investment in animal health, agricultural equipment, automation, digitalization and AI-driven production systems.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Other forward-looking points included in the report were the possible increase in inflation for some regions in 2025, which would put downward pressure on market demand.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Some regional updates on the pork market include North America, with strong hog prices due to tighter suppliers and good demand from packers.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Rabobank also noted that pork prices in China look set to fall in 2025 due to rising production and stagnant demand.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-03-02 00:09:05 | 2025-09-22 22:39:19 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8774 | Denmark: More pigs counted in June 2025 | The Danish pig population has recently increased again. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to current data from the Danish Statistics Office, the Danish pig population increased again on June 1, 2025, compared to the previous year's census. Increases were recorded for both fattening pigs and piglets. The sow population remained unchanged.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to current data from the Danish Statistics Office, the Danish pig population as of June 1, 2025, amounted to approximately 11.89 million animals. This represents an increase of 5.6% compared to the previous year's figure of June 2024.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The increase was particularly significant among fattening pigs over 50 kg, with an increase of 11.5% in this category. The number of weaned pigs under 50 kg also increased by 5.4%, while the number of suckling piglets increased by 2.8%.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The breeding herd—especially the number of pregnant sows—remained unchanged compared to the previous year. The Danish sow population totals approximately 1.15 million animals. According to the Danish Statistics Office, the increase in piglets, despite the constant number of sows, is due to increased efficiency in sow management.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-08-19 00:25:47 | 2025-09-23 02:53:03 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8138 | Uruguay exported 361,720 tons of beef in 2024 | Uruguayan beef exports closed 2024 with a strong upward push in the average price. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to Customs export application data, in December Uruguay exported 27,274 tons of beef shipped weight at an average value of US$/t 6,519. The volume is 9 thousand tons lower than in the last month of 2023, while the average value increased 5.4% monthly and 22% from the year's low, reached in April. In addition, it is the highest average value since September 2022, more than two years ago.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2024, Uruguay exported 361,720 tons of beef, shipping weight, only 0.4% less than in the previous year. The average value increased 2.4% annually to US$/t 5,771.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The lower demand from China, combined with requests seen from some other buyers, such as the United States and Israel, changed the direction of Uruguayan beef exports in 2024.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Sales to China fell sharply, both for boneless frozen meat (-33% to 97,283 tonnes) and for frozen meat with bone, which fell 21% year-on-year to 56,244 tonnes. However, this did not prevent China from remaining the main buyer of Uruguayan meat.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The United States followed, suffering a drastic drop in its herd and a fall in production. Uruguay shipped 93,588 tons of boneless frozen meat and 5,683 tons of chilled meat to this destination, with an annual increase of 84% and 27% respectively.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The third main destination in the year, both in the case of frozen and chilled, was Israel, with 10,270 tons of frozen boneless and 4,810 tons of chilled, to which, starting last year, frozen products with bones were added, with purchases of 933 tons.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Uruguay shipped 14,162 tonnes of frozen beef to the EU in 2024, the largest amount since 2018, when it had shipped 16,306 tonnes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, the volume of chilled meat that Uruguay places in the block tends to increase. In 2024, they totaled 23,448 tons, of which less than 6,000 are part of the Hilton quota.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-01-28 00:15:55 | 2025-09-23 01:08:50 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8717 | EU pork exports up 1.8 percent in the first 5 months of 2025 | The European Union pork exports to non-EU countries saw a modest yet significant increase in the first five months of 2025 compared to the same period last year. This positive dynamic in the external market solidifies the EU's position as a key player in global pork trade. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to data from the Agricultural Market Information Company (AMI), the total volume of EU pork exports reached approximately 1.8 million tonnes between January and May 2025, marking a 1.8% increase year-over-year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Spain dominates the export market, Germany experiences setback</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Spain reaffirmed its undisputed leadership among EU pork exporters. With approximately 608,000 tonnes exported and a notable 11% increase, Spain accounts for over a third of the total pork exports from EU member states.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Netherlands held onto the second position with around 284,000 tonnes, while Denmark ranked third with 212,000 tonnes, despite a 14% decline compared to the previous year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Meanwhile, Germany dropped to fourth place. Its exports fell by more than a quarter in January, a direct consequence of restrictions imposed by Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreaks. This development highlights the varying impact of sanitary challenges on individual member states' performance. Nevertheless, overall increases from some exporters more than offset the losses experienced by others.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Frozen pork and by-products in high demand</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">China once again remained the largest importer of EU pork, followed by the United Kingdom, the Philippines, Japan, and South Korea. There was particularly high demand for frozen pork, which constituted the largest share of exports, reaching almost 700,000 tonnes. Sales of slaughter by-products also increased compared to the previous year, with Asia being the primary market.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">AMI anticipates that export volumes will remain stable or increase slightly in the coming months, indicating a cautiously optimistic outlook for European pork exporters.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-08-06 00:30:36 | 2025-09-23 01:52:05 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8377 | PROVACUNO: The European Union has lost a million cows in the last year | Spanish beef production has increased by 2.6% in the last year, rising from 695,000 tons in 2023 to more than 713,000 tons in 2024. Its value rose to €4.641 billion in 2024 (up 15% vs. 2023), representing 17% of final livestock production. However, the animal population continues to decline both in Spain and in Europe. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to Eurostat data, comparing January 2024 with January 2025, there has been a decrease of 121,000 total cattle in Spain, of which 95,000 are suckler cows and 19,000 are dairy cows. In the case of suckler cows, this reduction in the population is explained by two consecutive years of drought (2002 and 2023), the incidence of Epizootic Hemorrhagic Disease (EHD) since autumn 2023 and its subsequent consequences, and the slaughter of cows supported by their good market price. Despite all this, Spain has suffered a smaller percentage reduction in its population than other large EU producers.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">This figure worsens when analyzed at the European level, with a reduction in the number of cattle of nearly 1.7 million head, which represents a drop of 2.3% compared to the previous year, but 5% compared to 2021. In the case of total cows in the EU, the decrease has been 1,763,000 cows in the period 2021-2024, and specifically 1 million cows in the last year alone.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the decline in animal numbers, net beef production in Spain increased last year due to a decrease in live animal exports to third countries (-13%).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The total amount of meat exported (including fresh, frozen, offal, fat, and other meats) amounted to 271,652 tons, practically in line with the previous year's figure.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For the most part, these total Spanish beef exports were destined for the European market, with Portugal (76,304 t), Italy (41,815 t) and France (40,574 t) leading the way.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Fresh meat exports increased by 8% in 2024 to 195,402 tonnes, and among the destinations, apart from the traditional markets (Portugal, Italy and France), the emergence of Algeria stands out, absorbing 26,514 tonnes in less than a year, which has led our country to double its exports to third countries, which totaled 52,196 tonnes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The increase in fresh meat exports was offset by a decline in offal exports, reflecting the growing market interest in these traditional products in Spanish cuisine.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of the value of these exports, fresh meat has once again increased the most in the last year, rising from €1.012 billion in 2023 to €1.170 billion in 2024. Overall, total meat exports amounted to €1.507 billion in 2024, compared to €1.381 billion the previous year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Regarding imports, a total of around 190,500 tonnes were imported in 2024 (around 30,000 tonnes more than the previous year) for a total value of €1.171 billion, mainly from Poland, the Netherlands, and Germany, with Brazil being the top supplier on the list of third countries. There was again a notable increase in fresh meat imports, both in volume, which increased from 96,192 tonnes in 2023 to 114,326 tonnes in 2024, and in value, from €736 million in 2023 to €870 million in 2024.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Producer prices are the highest in the history of this sector, with the average price for AR3 yearlings (medium conformation and fatness) reaching €542/100 kg in 2024, compared to the average of €518/100 kg the previous year. It's worth noting that so far in 2025 (the first 12 weeks), the average price for the same category stands at €657/100 kg.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Despite the price trend, household consumption has seen a slight increase in 2024, rising from 3.89 to 3.92 kg/capita.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-04-10 00:20:23 | 2025-09-23 01:57:41 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8843 | Chile: Pork remains the main driver of the meat export sector | In the first half of 2025, Chilean chicken meat exports consolidated their recovery following the reopening of strategic markets. Pork remained the main driver of the export sector, and domestic consumption registered a significant increase. These results reflect the strength of the industry and the confidence that domestic and international markets place in the quality and health status of Chilean products. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to figures from ChileCarne, chicken meat accounted for 36% of the total value of meat exports in the first half of 2025, consolidating its recovery following the reopening of the Chinese market in December 2024. In the first half of the year, shipments grew 18% in volume and 40% in value compared to the same period in 2024.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The United States, Puerto Rico, and Mexico remained the top destinations, accounting for 72% of export value, while China reached 7%, beginning to recover its previous share by the end of March 2023.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Pork remained the main driver of the meat export sector, accounting for 52% of the total value, although it registered a slight decrease of 7%. China, South Korea, and Japan continued to lead purchases with 68%, while Latin America gained importance, with Colombia, Peru, and Costa Rica accounting for 13% of the total.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">These figures reflect the importance of preserving Chile's disease-free status, a fundamental condition for maintaining the confidence of international markets and maintaining open access to key destinations. It should be remembered that maintaining high biosecurity standards and preventing the entry of diseases such as avian influenza are key to maintaining foreign trade flows and the sector's competitiveness.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of production, chicken meat grew 5% compared to the same period last year, a trend that is expected to continue thanks to the lifting of restrictions in China, a key market for the diversification of Chilean poultry protein. Pork production, on the other hand, remained stable compared to the first half of 2024.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In terms of per capita consumption, pork registered a 6% increase compared to the previous year, reaffirming Chileans' preference for a versatile, nutritious, and tasty protein.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-09-09 00:20:43 | 2025-09-23 02:28:50 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8478 | Mexico: Cattle exports plummet by more than 50 percent in the first quarter | Exports will fall further after border closures due to screwworm outbreaks. The value of cattle exports plummeted more than 50 percent in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period in 2024. However, due to the closure of borders with the United States, the losses are expected to be much more significant, which will harm the entire national livestock sector. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to figures from the Bank of Mexico, cattle exports for the first quarter of 2025 amounted to $163 million, meaning foreign sales fell 52.30 percent compared to the same period in 2024, when exports totaled $341 million.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It's worth noting that thanks to agricultural production, Mexico managed to avoid a technical recession, as it was the only sector that managed to grow at a quarterly rate of 8.1 percent. Industrial production fell 0.3 percent and services grew by zero percent, according to data from INEGI.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The Economic Information System (SIE) of the Bank of Mexico established that, in January of this year, the value of beef exports was zero, in February it was more than $30 million, and in March it was more than $132 million, giving a total of $163 million due to rounding.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It is worth noting that since 1993, according to monthly records from the SIE, there has not been a zero value recorded in beef exports, as occurred last January. The lowest figure previously recorded was in September 1996, when exports in this category totaled $1,021,800.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">It's worth noting that, by product, beef is among the top agricultural exports, having reached an annual value of $1.3 billion in 2024.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For its part, the National Agricultural Council (NAC) stated that the border closure will severely impact the livestock sector in the north of the country, which moves more than 5,700 head of cattle daily through Sonora and Chihuahua alone.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Likewise, estimates from the industry organization indicate that the suspension of livestock exports will mean Mexico losing $11.4 million every 24 hours.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The border closure was announced on Sunday, May 11, an action expected to be temporary and last 15 days. The U.S. government has conditioned the resumption of trade on a "significant window of containment ," based on a three-pronged approach that includes active field surveillance, training, and outreach; strict control of animal movement ; and sustained release of sterile insects.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to the NAC, prior to the suspension, 2,500 heads were exported daily from Sonora and 3,200 heads from Chihuahua, with an average price of $2,000 per head.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For its part, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (Sader) indicated that it is working to strengthen the national strategy to combat the cattle screwworm in conjunction with the United States government, with the goal of reopening the border to exports.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The agency also indicated that the insect traveled more than 3,700 kilometers from Panama to reach Mexico's southern border, and the Secretariat has maintained close coordination with U.S. health authorities to address the problem.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Furthermore, to inhibit pest reproduction, nearly one billion sterile flies have been dispersed from November 2024 to date, originating from the only production plant on the continent, operated by the United States Department of Agriculture and located in Panama.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-05-19 00:20:59 | 2025-09-23 02:29:04 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7747 | Uruguay leads Mercosur in diversifying its meat exports | Of the three Mercosur countries that export beef to China (Paraguay is excluded), Uruguay is the one that has most notably diversified its basket of destinations in the face of falling prices in the Asian giant. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to INAC figures up to September 14, Uruguay's exports to China fell 29% in volume while shipments to the United States grew 64%.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to these figures, China as a destination fell from 57% to 39% between 2023 and 2024, while the US increased its market share from 21% to 32% as of last week.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For its part, Brazil reduced its meat sales to China from 51% to 44%, according to Conab data this week. Argentine, on the other hand, is much more dependent on the Asian giant and has slightly modified its export map, with China's share falling from 78.2% to 74.6%.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Sales revenue to the North American market, which includes minority business in Canada and Mexico, reached US$442 million through September 14 and exceeds the US$426 million in China.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">For the first time since 2012, it is highly likely that the US will be the main destination in terms of the amount of foreign currency generated by the end of the year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Other traditional destinations are also increasing this year for Uruguay: Israel has grown by more than 135% and the European Union by 19% in volume.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Among the secondary markets, the return of Russia stands out, which multiplied its purchases by 11 this year, the United Kingdom grew by 52% and Japan by almost 40% in tons.</p> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-09-22 00:37:19 | 2025-09-22 16:27:59 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7268 | AHDB: Meat is a winner for family dinners | Meat has risen in popularity within lunch and evening meals despite the continued pressure from rising food prices during the last year, according to AHDB. The cost-of-living crisis also pushed more consumers towards alternative cuts to save money, and trends show people are making more versatile Italian and Meat Indian dishes for all the family to enjoy. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to Kantar Usage panel, 53.1% of mealtimes feature Meat, Fish and Poultry (MFP) and 27.8% of our lunch and evening meal occasions feature red meat, up from 27.6% a year ago. Consumers are also more likely to choose mince or cheaper cuts to use as a key ingredient in their meal, rather than a primary cut with a higher price point.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">More consumers are choosing to include meat in their lunches compared to before the Covid pandemic in 2019, such as cooked meats, pies, pasties and sandwiches. The sandwich is still the number one choice for lunch, being chosen on over 35% of occasions and soup comes in second at 7.3% of occasions. Both of these options are quick, easy, filling and often cost effective, as they use cupboard and fridge staples.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Evening meal occasions containing mince have increased during the last year we have also seen a rise in popularity of Italian dishes for families. These dishes provide a cost-effective way for families to have an affordable and nutrient rich meal that the whole family can enjoy.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Beef</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Kantar report that 25.3% of all beef dinner occasions are Italian, such as spaghetti Bolognese and lasagne (up 0.6 percentage points YoY) and half of these occasions are led by families. As convenience for evening meals also remains key, pies and pasties often fit the bill and beef burgers have proved ever popular at satisfying the desire for a tasty and filling meal.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Pork</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Pork (including sausages and bacon) continues to be a popular choice for both lunch and evening meals, even more so now than pre-pandemic. Sausages and cooked meats are consumed most often and have grown in share since 2019. Sausages remain an all-round family favourite and are picked for both taste and enjoyment. Italian dishes with pork such as carbonara and pasta bake have also both seen growth year on year.</p> <p><strong>Lamb</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Lamb in lunch and evening meals has dipped in popularity since 2022 but has shown signs of recovery during 2023. Traditional meals with lamb such as lamb chops and shepherd’s pies have increased YoY in number of occasions due to their versatility and taste appeal. Lamb is a key ingredient amongst many curry dishes and is popular if cooked in bulk and with young families, as it is seen as a really tasty leftovers meal to consume later or freeze. This makes lamb a more affordable protein when using cheaper cuts to cater for large groups of people or for batch cooking.</p> <p><strong>Opportunities for red meat within in-home dining</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">There is a real opportunity for red meat growth within in-home dining if we can continue to highlight meals that are easy to prepare, are a natural source of protein, have high levels of iron, contain vitamin B12, are cost effective and are a key ingredient in a healthy balanced diet.</p> <ul style="font-weight: 400;"> <li>Highlight the growing trend of easy to prepare Italian dishes, especially lasagne, spaghetti bolognese and pasta bakes, which can all use beef, pork or lamb to bring out the natural taste for all the family to enjoy.</li> <li>As the sandwich is the most popular meal consumed in the UK, this provides opportunities for sliced cooked meats and bacon, which can provide a quick and filling meal option.</li> <li>Indian meals with lamb are very popular with all ages, so this provides an opportunity to experiment with a variety of curry recipes and increase the cooking repertoire.</li> </ul> | 1 | Retail | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-04-02 00:25:54 | 2025-09-23 02:40:31 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7761 | Australia: Industry remains resilient despite significant volatility in 2023 | Meat & Livestock Australia (MLA) has published new analysis of the broader market conditions and economic contribution of the red meat industry in the latest State of the Industry report. The report produced by MLA provides an overview of Australia’s red meat and livestock industry from the prior calendar year. This edition examines financial year 2022-2023 and calendar year 2023. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to MLA’s Managing Director Michael Crowley, 2023 was a year where the industry remained resilient despite volatility.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Following three years of consistent growth, the red meat sector moved into a period of change, with 2023’s turn off resulting in peak production and slaughter numbers across beef cattle, sheep and goats", Mr Crowley said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"However, weather conditions deteriorating in much of the country and a simultaneous declaration of an El Niño and Positive Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD) triggered a significant sap in confidence in the industry, pushing prices to concerning lows in the second half of last year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"The industry was able to remain resilient in the face of this instability thanks to strong demand across a diversifying export market and strength in the processing sector.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"In addition, just as prices fell to unexpected lows, the market experienced a form of correction when conditions improved, as much of the country received favourable rainfall as we approached Christmas".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Industry turnover</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2022–23, Australia’s red meat and livestock industry turnover was $81.7 billion. This is 2.2% below revised 2021–22 figures, though an increase of 6.3% on 2018–19 figures</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">New South Wales (28%), Victoria (24%) and Queensland (22%), represent the majority of turnover within the industry, with Western Australia (14%), South Australia (8%), Tasmania (3%) and the Northern Territory (1%) rounding out the remaining turnover.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Chief Executive Officer for the Red Meat Advisory Council (RMAC), Susan Wakeford said that the State of the Industry report highlighted the importance of Australia’s livestock production systems.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"The industry faced an unstable year in 2023 and came out the other side in a strong position with record production and strong export demand from all around the world", Ms Wakeford said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Key to the industry bouncing back after the market downturn halfway through 2023 was the steadying of the domestic labour market and expansion of current and new processing plants which provided growth to Australia’s processing capacity.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"This allowed industry to absorb and manage the surplus of cattle and sheep turned-off over the year, helping industry reach records in both production and slaughter".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Exports</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Red meat and livestock export value rose 3% year-on-year to total $18.2 billion in 2022–23.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2022–23, the value of chilled and frozen meat accounted for nearly 83% of total meat and livestock exports at $14.7 billion, with live sheep and cattle exports accounting for 7% at $1.3 billion. Co-products and further processed exports accounted for the other 10%, valued at $1.7 billion.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In calendar year 2023, Australia was the second largest beef exporter and the world’s largest sheepmeat and goatmeat exporter.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2023, Australian beef and veal exports totalled 1.08 million tonnes shipped weight (swt), up 27% year-on-year. The United States emerged as Australia’s largest beef export market (in volume terms) in 2023, totalling 246,000 tonnes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2023, Australian lamb exports totalled 326,014 tonnes swt, the highest on record and 15% above 2022. China became Australia’s largest lamb export destination in 2023 in volume terms, at 66,875 tonnes. While mutton exports totalled a record 209,580 tonnes swt, a 44% year-on-year increase with China accelerating as the number one market at 97,481 tonnes.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Goatmeat exports totalled 33,904 tonnes swt in 2023, up 55% on the year prior. The United States remains the largest destination for goatmeat, accounting for 42% of exports or 14,477 tonnes in 2023.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Domestic consumption</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Australia’s per capita beef and sheepmeat consumption continues to be one of the largest in the world. 92% of Australian households purchased beef and 72% bought lamb in the past year.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Australia remains one of the world’s largest consumers of beef, ranked third behind Argentina and the United States, with per capita consumption in 2023 averaging 23.4kg.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Australia was the largest sheepmeat consumer on a per capita basis in 2023 at an average of 7.4kg. Helping to boost lamb consumption over the past year is the falling lamb retail price, which fell below beef in mid-2023.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"Australians love their beef and lamb, and this report emphasises the fact that we are some of the biggest per capita consumers of red meat globally", Mr Crowley said.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"With 2024 set to break production and slaughter records highlighted in this 2023 analysis, there will be plenty more beef and lamb on the shelves for consumers to enjoy as we approach summer".</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-09-26 00:20:20 | 2025-09-22 18:34:42 | Details Edit Delete | |

| 8120 | Meat or alternative proteins – mechanical engineering presents innovative solutions at IFFA 2025 | German manufacturers of machinery for processing of meat and alternative proteins could not record renewed growth in 2024 after a ten-year upward trend. They are optimistic about IFFA 2025, which will take place in Frankfurt from 3 to 8 May 2025, and expect significant impetus from the world's leading trade fair. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to preliminary data from the Federal Statistical Office, the production of food processing and packaging machinery in Germany increased by 3 percent to almost 17 billion euros in 2024. This means that the fifth-largest mechanical engineering sector has once again grown against the trend in the overall mechanical engineering sector, which expects an 8 percent drop in production for 2024. This was announced by the VDMA at the press conference for IFFA 2025.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Packaging machines account for around half of the production value. In the heterogeneous food machinery sector, process technology for the meat and protein industry is the largest sub-sector, which has recorded above-average growth rates in recent years. "Between 2014 and 2023, the production of meat processing machines in Germany increased by a total of almost 40 percent to a value of 1.4 billion euros. According to the data available so far, we will not reach this very high level in 2024", says Klaus Schröter, Chairman of the IFFA Advisory Board and Chairman of the VDMA Process Technology Division for Meat and Protein Processing.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In addition to the base effect due to the high reference value in 2023, Schröter sees a temporary decline in investments resulting from higher energy prices for the manufacturing industry, higher interest rates and the investment climate, which is characterized by many uncertainty factors.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In this context, the German Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association expects a drop in production of around five percent for meat processing machines in 2024.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>European exports in 2024 below very strong previous year's level</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">To date, the VDMA only has data available for 2024 on German and EU-27 foreign trade. Accordingly, European exports of meat processing machinery fell by 6.5 percent in the first 8 months of 2024 compared to the very high level of the previous year. According to VDMA estimates, the rate of decline will decrease in the remaining months due to deliveries, but the high level of global foreign trade in 2023 will not be reached.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">"German exports of meat processing machines alone increased by 6 percent to 730 million euros in 2023. There has been considerable investment in automation and modernization, particularly in the USA and in many European countries", states Schröter. These investments were also made in response to labor shortages and high demands on production safety.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>European companies lead the global competition – China is catching up</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">International foreign trade in meat processing machinery – based on export data from around 50 industrialized countries – grew by 3 percent in 2023 and reached a peak value of 2.7 billion euros. Almost 80 percent of the machines traded worldwide came from the EU-27, with Germany leading the top 10 supplier countries with a 27 percent share, followed by the Netherlands with a 21 percent share.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">China's exports of meat processing machinery have increased significantly in recent years, making the People's Republic the third most important exporter in 2023 with a share of 9 percent. It was followed by Italy with 7 percent, the USA with 5 percent and Denmark, Poland, Spain, France and Austria with supply shares of between 3 and 4 percent.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The top 10 sales markets for imported machines in 2023 were the USA, Russia, the Netherlands, Germany, the United Kingdom, Australia, France, Poland, China and Spain. “The industrialized countries will remain very important in the future, but strong impetus also came from Asia in 2023, for example, with Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Central and South America with Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, Saudi Arabia and South Africa, just to name a few,” Schröter comments on the global demand.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Whether the high level of international foreign trade in meat processing machinery will be reached or undershot in 2024 will not be known until May 2025, when the foreign trade data of the industrialized countries are fully available to the VDMA.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Positive prospects in a dynamic market environment</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Schröter is positive about the future prospects of the supplier industry for the meat and protein sector. "The global food industry is developing very dynamically. In many countries, the food industry is the strongest economic sector with continued high growth rates".</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Global sales of meat and alternative proteins are increasing - with varying dynamics and regional focuses. In most countries in Western Europe and North America, meat consumption is stable at a high level or falling slightly. At the same time, the market for alternative proteins in these regions is growing from its current low level, but with high growth rates. According to the British market research institute Euromonitor International, global volume sales of meat products will increase by 8 percent and sales of plant-based alternatives by 25 percent until 2028.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Demographic developments, nutritional trends, changing consumer habits and ever shorter product life cycles are shaping the markets. In addition, the high demands placed on food safety, quality and variety as well as sustainable production and high price and competitive pressure are ensuring continued investment in technology.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;"><strong>Digitalization and AI for sustainable production</strong></p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Customers focus on sustainable solutions for the production process: energy efficiency, avoiding product losses, reducing water and media consumption, holistic energy concepts for waste heat and optimized, easily recyclable packaging are the most important topics.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Digitalization is a central component of sustainable production, as process data evaluation can optimize the use of resources, reduce production downtime and provide services remotely. Data and its use generate added value in terms of increased efficiency, product safety and transparency throughout the entire manufacturing and packaging process.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Artificial intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role. AI facilitates the analysis of real-time data from the production process, detects anomalies and helps to reduce unplanned downtimes. In cleaning processes, artificial intelligence (AI) enables the detection of contamination levels and self-adapting cleaning processes. The simulation of production processes with the help of AI and digital twins is becoming increasingly important. In particular, it helps with complex investment decisions and creates investment security.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">These and other topics will play a central role at IFFA 2025. "We are very much looking forward to the international supplier industry presenting a wide range of innovations and to discussing requirements and trends with the international visitors in a personal exchange", concludes Klaus Schröter, Chairman of the VDMA Process Technology Division for Meat and Protein Processing.</p> | 1 | Technology | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-02-09 00:05:21 | 2025-09-23 02:00:01 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 7971 | The European pork production is stabilizing again | After significant declines in the European pork production in the past two years, Eurostat figures indicate a stabilization this year. According to them, 0.7% more pigs were slaughtered in the first eight months of the year than in the same period last year. However, the development in the individual member states was very different. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to preliminary data from the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat), between January and August 2024, around 146 million pigs were slaughtered in the reporting slaughterhouses in the 27 EU member states. That was around 1.1 million animals or 0.7% more than in the first eight months of the previous year. Due to the higher slaughter weights, pork production even increased by 1.9% to 13.9 million tonnes. This indicates that the downward trend of the past two years has now stopped, where the declines were very significant at 8.1% (2023) and 3.1% (2022).</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 17 EU-27 countries, pig slaughterings increased, while in ten countries they decreased. Pig slaughterings increased in the eastern EU member states in particular: in Croatia, the increase compared to the previous year was 8.3%, in Poland 7.5%, in Bulgaria 7.2%, in Romania 6.0%, in Hungary 6.3%, in the Czech Republic 5.3% and in Estonia 3.4%. A slight increase of 1.0% was also recorded in Germany. Slaughterings fell in the Netherlands (-3.0%), Denmark (-2.6%), Spain (-0.5%) and Austria (-1.1%), among others. It is noteworthy that in Denmark, the amount of pork produced was higher than in the previous year despite the declining number of animals. Due to the 5 kg higher slaughter weight, 2.5% more pork was produced from January to August of the current year than in the first eight months of the previous year.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-12-01 00:10:40 | 2025-09-22 22:34:44 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 6009 | Positive outlook for the global poultry industry | Poultry's consistently increasing efficiency and productivity is what makes it continue to lead the growth of meat production worldwide. Marel is the global leader ready to offer solutions and services for processing of all usual types of poultry, all possible stages in the process and at any required production capacity. Besides broiler processing, they are specialized in technology and systems for processing turkeys, ducks and other breeds such as layers and parent stock. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to Rabobank analyst Nan-Dirk Mulder, the demand for poultry is expected to remain strong but likely to exceed the available, limited supply. Especially in times of more price-driven consumer behavior, poultry is the preferred protein source. Economic downturns tend to impact market conditions and consumer spending, typically leading to an increased demand for affordable chicken, eggs, cheaper cuts and conventional poultry products.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Especially with high feed prices, poultry will be the fastest-growing animal protein due to its price competitiveness. In 2023 however, growth in the poultry industry will come relatively slow, with Asia and Latam being some of the faster-growing markets. Asia, in particular, will be the leading global market in the long term, with 65% of global growth, which means ongoing opportunities for investments.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In 2022, like in previous years, Asia made up almost 40% of the global poultry production, according to FAO. North America’s 19% share will remain a large contributor, followed by South America and Europe. According to the US Department of Agriculture (USDA), the production share of the world's top five meat producers (China, USA, EU, Brazil and Russia) is expected to gradually decline from its current level in the coming years, due to a decrease in production from the EU and an increasing number of global producers. India is predicted to take Russia's spot in the top five by 2031.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Over the next decade, poultry meat production is expected to expand due to increasing demand from growing populations and rising incomes in developing countries. Poultry meat will also become more accessible worldwide due to decreased production costs and improvements in meat yields and feed conversion ratios (FCR). The poultry industry is constantly improving efficiency and productivity, which is the reason why this source of protein will continue to lead the world’s meat production growth.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">However, poultry processors should keep a focus on efficiency and sustainability to be key in times of high costs, rising food demand and limited resources. Poultry processors should also be aware that consumers with more money to spend will ask for more modern distribution and digital, smart value chains, such as e-commerce. To meet these challenges, the poultry sector will shift further to a more consolidated, global, multispecies industry with a higher level of integration.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">From a sustainability standpoint, producing poultry meat requires a smaller inventory of animals or capital. Poultry has the advantage that its feed conversion ratio is low compared to other animals and decreasing, which means less additional feed is needed. In addition, poultry’s short production cycle, along with its price point compared to other protein sources will allow producers to react quickly to market shifts.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">During times of limited grain supplies, as we’re experiencing now due to the war in Ukraine, these efficient characteristics make the poultry industry more resilient. The high efficiency and sustainability of poultry is expected to continue benefiting the industry in the coming decade.</p> | 1 | Technology | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2023-01-10 04:15:20 | 2025-09-22 22:20:14 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8155 | Bulgaria: Sheep meat imports from Greece surpass those from North Macedonia | The trend of increasing lamb prices continues in the first month of the new year, as is evident in the statistical information on the sector published by the Ministry of Agriculture. | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to SAPI data, as of January 8, 2025, the purchase price of lambs (live weight) was 11.59 BGN/kg excluding VAT. The price increase compared to January 2024 was 4.4%. In wholesale, a kilogram of lamb meat in the first days of 2025 was traded for 25.27 BGN with VAT – a 6.6% increase. The jump in retail prices was greater – by 14.3%, reaching 27.76 BGN/kg with VAT.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">The infographic for the last three years outlines a gradual increase in both live weight purchase prices and wholesale and retail prices of lamb meat . In January 2022, the purchase prices of lambs (live weight) were just over 6 BGN/kg excluding VAT, after a year they increased to over 8 BGN/kg excluding VAT, and in January 2024 they reached levels of about 11 BGN/kg excluding VAT. The growth in wholesale and retail prices is more tangible.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">At the end of 2024, the average prices of classified meat - light lambs (up to 13 kg) in Bulgaria continue to be below the EU average, but are slightly higher than those in neighboring Greece.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to preliminary data from the Agrostatistics of the Ministry of Agriculture, the production of sheep and goat meat from slaughterhouses in Bulgaria decreased over the past year . For the first nine months of 2024, 142.8 thousand animals were slaughtered in them, which is over 21% less than the same period in 2023. The meat yield amounted to 1,430 tons of slaughter meat - an 18.1% decrease.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">During this period, imports of sheep meat from both EU countries and third countries also decreased . As of September 2024, 1,469.6 tons were imported, down 7.5%. Imports of sheep meat from Poland, Spain, the Netherlands, and North Macedonia are also declining.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">However, larger quantities entered the country from Germany – a growth of 633.4%, from New Zealand (152.6% more) and from Italy (97% more). Imports from Greece also increased – by 17.5%, displacing imports from North Macedonia in terms of imported quantities and taking first place among the countries from which Bulgaria imported sheep meat.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">Preliminary data from the National Institute of Agriculture and the Ministry of Agriculture and Food report that by September 2024, the export of sheep meat will also significantly decrease - by nearly 70%. During this period, our country exported only 94.8 tons of sheep meat.</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-01-31 00:10:36 | 2025-09-23 02:28:49 | Details Edit Delete | |
| 8279 | After action in Mexico, exporters project US$ 115 million in business | Poultry and pork meat exporters project business worth one hundred million dollars after an action organized by the Brazilian Animal Protein Association (ABPA), in partnership with the Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (ApexBrasil), during Expo Carnes y Lacteos 2025, the largest food fair in the Mexican market, which ended last week in Monterrey (Mexico). | <p style="font-weight: 400;">According to surveys carried out by ABPA with participating companies, more than US$ 20 million in export business was consolidated in just the three days of the event, with importers from Mexico, the United States, Canada, Colombia, the Bahamas, Chile, El Salvador, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and other Caribbean countries.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In total, exporters project more than US$ 115 million in exports in the next 12 months based on the more than 450 contacts established with importers who visited the ABPA and ApexBrasil space.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the action, which was led by ABPA's marketing and commercial promotion coordinator, Nayara Dalmolin, and by the market access manager, Gabriel Morelli, business meetings were held with potential clients and importers from Brazilian sectors.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In addition, the Brazilian Pork Sector Project – an international brand for Brazilian pork – launched its new branding during Expo Carnes y Lacteos.

Created to control inflationary effects and food shortages, the package encourages supply through the import of strategic products, such as chicken and pork, with the absence of limiting quotas with zero tariffs.</p> <p style="font-weight: 400;">In the first two months alone, chicken meat exports to the Mexican market grew by 349.2%, jumping from 7,000 tons last year to 31,600 tons in the first two months of this year. The same occurred with pork, which registered 4,200 tons imported by Mexico in the period – for comparison purposes, in the same period last year it was only 25 tons.</p> | 1 | Industry | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2025-03-16 00:20:48 | 2025-09-23 02:06:44 | Details Edit Delete | |
