| 5276 | Global meat prices offer mixed picture | Increased demand for beef has lifted the FAO Meat Price Index but poultry and sheepmeat prices are declining. | <p>The gauge for world food prices went up in January, largely catalysed by supply-side constraints for vegetable oils, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) reported. The FAO Food Price Index averaged 135.7 points in January, 1.1 percent higher than in December. <br />The FAO Vegetable Oils Price Index led the rebound in January, increasing by 4.2 percent month-on-month and reversing its December decline to reach an all-time high. Quotations for all major oils rose, also supported by rising crude oil prices. Palm oil prices were largely underpinned by concerns over a possible reduction in export availabilities from Indonesia, the world’s leading exporter, while soy oil prices were supported by robust import purchases, particularly from India, rapeseed oil prices were pushed up by lingering supply tightness, and sunflower seed oil quotations were impacted by supply tightness and surging global import demand. <br />The FAO Dairy Price Index increased by 2.4 percent, its fifth consecutive monthly rise, with the steepest increases registered for skim milk powder and butter. Reduced export availabilities from Western Europe and below-average expectations for milk production in Oceania in the months ahead contributed to the tightening in global dairy markets, as did processing and transportation delays linked to COVID-19-related labour shortages.</p> <p>The FAO Cereal Price Index in January increased marginally, by 0.1 percent, from December. Maize export prices rose by 3.8 percent during the month, spurred by worries about persistent drought conditions in South America, while world wheat prices declined by 3.1 percent on the back of large harvests in Australia and Argentina. Lower harvests and steady purchases by Asian buyers led to a 3.1 percent monthly increase in international rice prices.</p> <p>The FAO Meat Price Index increased slightly in January, with world bovine meat prices reaching a new peak as global import demand exceeded export supplies, while ovine and poultry meat prices softened as exportable supplies outstripped import demand. Pig meat quotations rose slightly, in part due to rising input costs dampening global supply.</p> <p>The FAO Sugar Price Index was the only subindex to post a decrease in January, down 3.1 percent from the previous month due to favourable production prospects in major exporters India and Thailand, as well as improved rains and lower ethanol prices in Brazil.</p> | 1 | Market | 2022-02-04 09:03:31 | 2025-08-01 16:22:53 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 3947 | Two JBS and BRF pork plants on China's blacklist | Imports from the two plants located in Brazil's Rio Grande do Sul state have been suspended due to novel coronavirus concerns. | <p>The General Administration of Customs China announced that it has suspended pork imports from to Brazilian plants owned by JBS and BRF due to COVID-19 concerns, reports Mercopress. China is the largest buyer of Brazilian pork, beef and chicken. It has requested that meat exporters globally certify their products are coronavirus free, which BRF, JBS, and other Brazilian meatpackers have already done.</p> <p>A total of six Brazil meat plants have now been blocked from exporting to China amid rising concerns over thousands of cases of COVID-19 among slaughterhouse workers in the country. Brazil has the second-worst COVID-19 outbreak in the world after the United States and China is more careful regarding meat exports after a new cluster was reported in a meat market in Beijing last month.<br />German producer Tonnies and four Dutch abattoirs are facing the same problem after outbreaks have been reported at their facilities.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-07-06 11:47:52 | 2025-08-01 03:30:43 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 2815 | German poultry industry seeks support from politicians | Cheap poultry imported from Eastern Europe have entered the market and threatens the animal welfare standards. | <p>The German poultry sector is at risk of losing 30% of businesses in the next 5 years if the cheap imports from Eastern Europe are going to further flood the market, said a board member of ZDG ( Central Association of the German Poultry Industry).<br />Members of the association claim that imported poultry has entered the large consumer segment restaurants, canteens, industrial kitchens, which accounts for 65% of sales in the German market, informs Fleischwirtshaft magazine.<br />At this point, the country's self-sufficiency rate in poultry has declined to 73% in turkey, 15% for geese and between 90-95% in chicken. Meantime, poultry farms in Germany have constantly invested in keeping high animal welfare standards but at this time even those are in danger. "With every kilogram of poultry meat imported from Eastern Europe, less animal welfare comes to Germany", mentioned ZDG President Friedrich-Otto Ripke.<br />"If we continue like this, we will lose 30% of businesses in the next five years", said ZDG board member Paul-Heinz Wesjohann.<br />The association is asking for complete reimbursement of additional costs for more animal welfare, a targeted and practical solution for the conflict of objectives between animal welfare and environmental protection, a mandatory labelling of origin for poultry meat in the catering trade.<br />Ukraine is seen as one of the producers who has disturbed the poultry market in the EU but there is also constant pressure from other countries such as Poland, Romania, Hungary and Bulgaria who have increased poultry production lately.</p> | 1 | Industry | 2019-04-15 06:30:04 | 2025-08-01 13:26:25 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 5399 | Germany constantly reduced meat consumption in the last 5 years | The drop in meat consumption is more than 5 kilos per capita, with poultry being the only product that has an increase in consumption. | <p>The Germans have consumed an average of 55 kilos of meat last year, which represents a significant drop of 5.5 kg compared with data collected in 2016. During this time, beef consumption has dropped by 0.4 kg, pork has the largest decline - 5.7 kg per capita- while poultry had an increase of 0.7 kilos. The decline in meat consumption between 2020 and 2021 was of 2.1 kilograms, representing a drop of 1.2 kilograms of pork, 600 grams of beef, and 200 grams of poultry meat, according to the Federal Information Center for Agriculture (BZL).<br />The drop in consumption was accompanied by a decrease in imports of meat, meat products, and canned pork and beef (-6.8%). Imports of poultry meat remained stable. In addition, the volume of foreign trade of live animals declined again in 2021: imports fell by almost one-fifth (19.6%) across all animal species, and exports fell by 1%. Foreign trade trends impact animal slaughtering in the country: compared to 2020, 2.4% less pork was produced. For beef and poultry, production fell by 1.6%.<br />According to preliminary figures, in 2021 the degree of self-sufficiency in meat was 121%, an increase of 2.5%. The self-sufficiency rate for pork was 132.4% and 98.2% for beef. In the case of poultry, 96.7% of domestic demand can be met by domestic production, according to BZL data.</p> | 1 | Market | 2022-04-01 12:27:07 | 2025-08-01 03:05:14 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 5096 | Animal protein production to curb growth in 2022 | Higher input costs for animal protein supply chains will be top-of-mind change drivers, accompanied by ongoing change, driven by the transition to more sustainable animal protein, biosecurity challenges and Covid-19, says Rabobank. | <p>The global animal protein market is expected to see similar levels of uncertainty in 2022, according to an outlook from Rabobank. Although markets are expected to settle somewhat in 2022, many drivers of recent change will remain. Among these, higher input costs for animal protein supply chains, including animal feed, labor, energy and freight, will be top-of-mind change drivers. These will be accompanied by ongoing change, driven by the transition to more sustainable animal protein, biosecurity challenges and Covid-19.<br />The overall trend for 2022 is for continued but slowing production growth, driven by pork, poultry and aquaculture. Beef and wild catch are both expected to contract slightly. The ongoing recovery of China’s pig herd will be the largest single driver of growth in global markets in 2022, analysts said. Against this backdrop, animal protein prices should remain firm in 2022 (with some exceptions), supported by ongoing supply constraints and general strength in demand. “We expect leaders of progressive animal protein companies to focus on the opportunities created by the ongoing market disruptions, rather than only seeing the multiple changes as business risks,” says Justin Sherrard, Global Strategist – Animal Protein. <br />According to the report, domestic pork consumption in Europe needs to rise to balance markets. At the same time, poultry should improve on opening of all channels, despite higher costs. Also, SE Asian poultry sector is expected to see growth in production after two years of challenging Covid-19 impacts. Pork will also recover from impacts of ASF and Covid-19, but more slowly. Meantime, in China, pork production recovery is expected to continue, but the path is uncertain while consumption is soft and prices remain low. Beef demand will stay firm, while poultry is pressured by pork recovery.<br />In North American markets, the ongoing strength of demand will support production and prices. Production constraints could yet spoil what is shaping up as a positive year. Brazil will continue its ascension as one of the top meat exporters, although demand is rising in the domestic market as well, while in Australia, beef and sheepmeat supply is set to slowly improve. Ongoing demand for New Zealand exports, and tight supply, are positive for returns, says the report.</p> | 1 | Market | 2021-11-19 09:35:11 | 2025-08-01 12:01:22 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 7371 | JBS Global CEO defends Brazil-US alliance to tackle hunger and climate emergency | During a summit in New York, Gilberto Tomazoni says that collaboration between the two countries can advance in sectors such as trade, investment and science. | <p>The Global CEO of JBS, one of the world's largest food companies, stressed during the Brazil-USA Summit that the two biggest challenges of our time - hunger and climate change - must be tackled through an alliance between two of the world's biggest agricultural powers: Brazil and the United States. "Today 2.3 billion people suffer from food insecurity. The two countries can come together to share a benchmark of good practices", said Gilberto Tomazoni.<br /><br />The executive mentioned a recent World Bank report ("Recipe for a Liveable Planet") which presents precisely the opportunity for this technological transfer. Tomazoni went further, suggesting that Brazil and the United States work together for “fair trade” to open up markets in the areas of food and biofuels. On both fronts, with a focus on increasing productivity. Without this, "we won't be sustainable", he said.<br /><br />Brazil and the United States have a lot to share and exchange in activities such as precision agriculture and assistance to rural producers. Brazil also stands out in regenerative practices, such as no-till farming, crop rotation, intercropping and integrated crop, livestock and forestry (ILPF). "There is an opportunity to carry out research together. How much greenhouse gas is actually emitted by ILPF systems? At JBS, we have partnerships with research institutions in Wisconsin and Nebraska, but we can go further", said Tomazoni.<br /><br />Ambassador Roberto Azevêdo, former director-general of the World Trade Organization (WTO) and partner at YvY Capital, supported the search for information on calculating emissions in Brazil's production conditions. "We need science. It's not possible for the reference for a cow's emissions to come from Europe, which lives in a totally different environment to Brazil". Azevêdo also pointed to the common interests of Brazil and the United States in the area of biofuels.<br /><br />Tomazoni also recalled the possibility of working together on studies for more fertile and healthy soils, which are therefore better suited to boosting productivity. "I insist: we need to produce more with fewer resources so that 800 million people don't go hungry, as is happening in the world today". At the start of the panel, the Global CEO of JBS described the company's operations in the United States, which began in 2007. Of the US$ 73 billion in revenue last year, half came from the North American operation, currently spread across 21 states. Of the 275,000 employees that the company has globally, 70,000 are in the USA (Brazil has 155,000, which is where JBS employs the most).</p> | 1 | Market | adrian.lazar@industriacarnii.ro | 2024-05-23 00:05:39 | 2025-08-01 10:13:42 | Details Edit Delete | |

Consumers are inclined towards consumption of cultured meat to focus on healthy and clean eating habits and reduce cholesterol intake.<br />The rising shift of consumers towards vegan and vegetarian diets also increases the demand for cultured meat. Growing awareness regarding animal welfare, increasing demand for meat products, the need for enhanced food safety, and rising disposable income are some factors boosting the market growth.<br />With increasing investments in the global cultured meat market, companies, manufacturers, and private organizations are collaborating to expand and cater to wider applications. The nuggets segment is expected to account for the highest share during the forecast period. The increasing demand for healthy snacks and on-the-go meals has increased the demand from this segment. Companies operating in this segment are developing healthy snacking products for specific demographics such as children and the aging population.</p> <p>The different techniques for cultured meat production include scaffold-based technique, self-organizing technique, cell culture media, and others. The self-organizing technique is used for the production of complex structures in cultured meat products. Production of complex structures such as steak requires 3-dimensional tissue production using animal tissue explants.<br />The different sources of cultured meat include seafood, duck, beef, poultry, pork, and others. The poultry segment is expected to account for the highest share during the forecast period owing to its simplified cell structure and the ease of production as compared to other cultured meat. Rising urbanization, growth in environmental awareness, and technological advancements also support market growth in this region. Consumers in the region are increasingly realizing the importance of healthy eating which has increased the need for cultured meat production to provide nutritional requirements and offer enhanced food security.</p> | 1 | Market | 2021-05-26 12:20:55 | 2025-07-31 21:29:05 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 3646 | From Farm to Board - Mrs. T. Zuleyha Albas, Founder and General manager of Buckaroo Food | "Consumption in the Halal meat segment in the EU will increase in parallel with population growth, migration movements, and cultural approaches. We plan to export to Germany, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, and the UK." | <p>The global Halal market is expected to grow fast in the next 5 years and everyone Halal meat producer is taking a chance in capitalizing this trend. The very first signs of market growth are already visible in countries such as Spain, Germany, Greece or United Kingdom and one Turkish producer is already paying attention to these trends although until now it was focused on other markets. "Instead of taking place in the supermarkets with basic products, we plan to proceed on our way with high quality products for specific customers we target," stated Mrs T. Zuleyha Albas, Founder and General manager of Buckaroo Food, in an interview for EuroMeat News.<br />Her strategy to address the customer in the European markets may prove successful as premiumisation in Halal meat products is facing three major obstacles when it comes to non-Muslim producers.</p> <p><em>1. The current red meat output reported by Turkey looks to benefit slaughterhouses and meat processors. However, over the last years, prices in the domestic market haven’t been supportive of the industry. Where does Buckaroo Food sell most of its products: in Turkey or abroad?</em></p> <p>1) As Buckaroo, we supply all of the products we process from slaughter houses approved by the Turkish Official Authorities which are also in compliance with Halal Standards. However, it cannot be said that the prices of raw materials we need for our production are competitive with the world prices. For this reason, we adopt quality production in limited tonnage to be competitive with the overseas in the sector.</p> <p><em>2. What range of products do you present to the customers? What are the most valuable pieces that you put in the market and how much do you produce per year?</em></p> <p>2) As Buckaroo, we produce two types of products. The first one is the production of meat by-products for export and the second one is the production of traditional delicatessen food. While our freshly processed natural semi-cooked beef tripe is in the first place for our overseas customers, our soudjouk produced from 100% beef which we produce and sell in limited quantity in the local market, can be defined as one our most valuable products. Our production for overseas is on average between 100-250 tons per year and our soudjouk production is on average 10-15 tons.</p> <p><em>3. What are the main export markets for Buckaroo Food products?</em></p> <p>3) As Buckaroo, we can list our main export markets as; Far East, Middle East, Turkish States and Africa. For offal and chicken “dark meat” (like chicken paws), we export mainly to the Middle East, Turkic States, Far East and Africa. As we attended Gulfood2020, the evaluations we made with our suppliers and customers supported our view that the demand for Halal Meat products will increase.</p> <p><em>4. Lately, the Halal meat segment in the EU has increased its market share. Do you export Halal products in countries such are Germany, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark or the UK? How would you describe the trade between Turkey and the EU and what are your expectations over the next 2-3 years?</em></p> <p>4) As Buckaroo, we foresee that consumption in the Halal meat segment in the EU will increase in parallel with population growth, migration movements and cultural approaches. We plan to export to the countries you listed (Germany, Spain, Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, and England). However, instead of taking place in the supermarkets with basic products, we plan to proceed on our way with high quality products for specific customers we target. In the medium term, our trade with the EU will continue to increase in the food sector depending on population density and Turkey's geopolitical position. Turkey is the most safe port in the region.</p> <p><br /><em>5. The global halal meat market is expected to grow at a fast pace in the next 5-6 years but analysts are foreseeing a tendency for premiumization of the products. Do you find this trend challenging?</em></p> <p>5) As Buckaroo, we agree with analysts. However, we have to add the following to this prediction. There are 3 main difficulties in making premium products in the Halal Meat market. The first one is that all processes of the products have to be carried out as Halal. The second one is the difference in the cultural and religious approaches of Halal meat consumers, and the third one is the belief that goods produced in a non-Muslim country will fail to meet the Halal criteria. Due to these reasons, we have accelerated our premium quality goods production and product development studies in the Halal Meat market.</p> <p> </p> | 1 | Industry | 2020-03-02 10:06:04 | 2025-07-31 22:23:19 | Details Edit Delete | ||

| 2717 | Global poultry market to see trade conditions gradually improve | After a short period of volatility, protein demand from China and new trade agreements are modifying the outlook for the months to come. | <p>The global market for poultry is looking much better than it did a few months ago, according to Nan-Dirk Mulder, a senior animal protein analyst at Rabobank. After a few quarters dominated by uncertainty regarding trade and disease restrictions, the outlook is starting to look much promising. "The outlook is changing, Rabobank is gradually becoming more optimistic that the market has reached a turning point, with global price levels starting to trend up – especially since global trade conditions have started to improve and have reached a record-high level in Q4 2019. Together with more supply discipline, this has led to improved market conditions", commented Mulder on the latest Rabobank analysis of the sector.<br />Production was at an exceptionally high level in many markets, including the US, the EU, and Thailand. Meanwhile, demand dropped because of a general market slowdown and constraints on access to international markets following trade restrictions. This resulted in a period of falling poultry prices between Q2 and Q4 2018, shows the document.<br />Nevertheless, demand is expected to grow further, as China is looking to cover a protein shortage generated by the ASF crisis in the country with other animal proteins. A 10% to 20% reduction in Chinese pork production is expected to occur in the country this year, which gives a chance for both local producers and for global players, such as Russia and Ukraine who are already strengthening their positions in this changing global trade landscape.<br />Still, challenges in terms of market volatility are going to be present, with a potential US-Chinese trade agreement that re-opens US chicken exports might shake up trade. <br />"Trade will also be impacted by the ongoing EU-Brazil and Saudi-Brazil trade restrictions, which are impacting breast meat and whole bird prices. Other issues – such as rumors about safeguards being imposed by Mexico on US chicken, or by South Africa on Brazilian chicken – are also wild cards for the outlook", believes the analyst.</p> | 1 | Market | 2019-03-18 12:33:33 | 2025-08-01 12:53:08 | Details Edit Delete | ||
| 5486 | IFFA 2022 exceeds expectations | 50,000 visitors from 129 countries have been present at this year's edition of the leading international trade fair for Technology in Meat and Alternative Proteins. | <p>The global meat and protein industry seized every minute of IFFA from 14 to 19 May: for intensive networking, to see innovations and to do business. Sustainable production, automated processes and digitalisation in all areas of processing, packaging and sales characterized the range of products at the booths. The high interest in alternative proteins also showed the great future potential of this market. Around 50,000 visitors from 129 countries travelled to Frankfurt am Main for the leading international trade fair IFFA – Technology for Meat and Alternative Proteins, Messe Frankfurt informed.</p> <p><strong>Six full days</strong></p> <p>Emotions and delight to reunite in person at IFFA were high: For six days, exhibitors presented innovations for sustainable and efficient production and packaging of meat and alternative proteins. Around 50,000 trade visitors were more than satisfied with 'their' industry meeting, which took place following its usual three-year cycle, which corresponds to the industry's innovation cycle. Wolfgang Marzin, President and CEO of Messe Frankfurt, also expressed his enthusiasm: "It was a pleasure to walk through the halls and meet industry participants again. An almost euphoric mood dominated IFFA. You could clearly feel how relieved everyone was to finally be able to meet in person again. The industry was open to new topics and impressively demonstrated its innovative strength. The global family reunion once again set the trends for the coming years – not least due to the expansion to include alternative proteins."</p> <p><strong>Industry with innovative power shows solutions for tomorrow</strong></p> <p>Automation and digitalisation are the driving topics in meat and protein processing and were at the centre of the innovations. The exhibiting industry also showed solutions and ideas for increasing energy efficiency and resource-saving production in order to achieve the EU's target of climate neutrality by 2050. Richard Clemens, Managing Director of the VDMA Food Processing and Packaging Machinery Association, is more than satisfied with the course of the trade fair and emphasised: "Finally, the industry can meet again. The mood at IFFA 2022 is exceptionally good. The national and international visitors are very interested in the innovations and, in numerous cases, have very concrete projects in the pipelines. The joy of finally meeting in person again is apparent everywhere." As for the packaging industry, the innovations were entirely in line with the slogan: “As much as necessary, as little as possible". In addition to recyclability, manufacturers focused on renewable raw materials: bio-based packaging as an alternative to plastic made from fossil raw materials points the way to a more environmentally friendly future. The German Butchers' Association (DFV), supported by the National Team of the Butchers' Trade, placed the promotion of young professional talent at the centre of many activities in Hall 12.0. Herbert Dohrmann, President of the DFV, is entirely satisfied with IFFA: "I am an optimist, but I would certainly not have expected that we would meet so many of our colleagues here and that there would be such a great atmosphere at the fair.<br />More than 25% increase in the number of products at the international quality competitions, two brand new competitions for young professionals and a strong performance by our national squad have brought a lot of life to our areas. A visit to IFFA was worthwhile for every company in the meat industry because the technical and technological developments of the last three years have been tremendous. The fair has more than fulfilled its role as a driver of innovation for the sector.”</p> <p><strong>Successful premiere: Great interest in alternative proteins</strong></p> <p>The trend is toward a more conscious consumption of meat. Nevertheless, many people do not want to give up their usual dietary patterns. Industry and trade are therefore developing ever more perfect plant-based alternatives – the market for meat alternatives based on plants or from cell cultures is growing rapidly. New products are emerging which also mean a boost in innovation for production technology. Picking up on this trend, IFFA expanded its product portfolio for the first time and focused on process technology and ingredients for alternative proteins. Visitors showed great interest in plant-based meat alternatives, hybrid products and cell-cultured meat – both on the exhibitors' stands and with their participation in the event programme. The conference by ProVeg and the Discovery Tours led by the Good Food Institute Europe, for example, were very popular.<br />Fabio Ziemßen, first chairman at the German Association for Alternative Protein Sources, draws a positive conclusion from his association's premiere participation at IFFA: "IFFA 2022 has made it clear that alternative protein sources will continue to have a firm place at the leading international trade fair in the future, and that this topic will continue to grow in the coming years. It is therefore indispensable for producers and distributors of alternative protein sources to be present here in three years' time. Being the German industry association, we look forward to continuing to accompany and shape this development in the future."</p> <p><strong>Convinced, excited and inspired</strong></p> <p>The exhibitors' booths were crowded: whether between bowl cutters, transport lines or packaging machines, in front of shelves of ingredients, in the butchers' competition area or in the IFFA Factory – visitors were primarily interested in the haptic experience. Touching, smelling, tasting, seeing machines in live operation, exchanging personal experiences and expanding knowledge were at the top of the agenda. At 96%, overall satisfaction is even higher than at IFFA 2019 - and thus at an absolute top level. According to a regular visitor survey conducted by Messe Frankfurt, 95% were satisfied with the exhibitors' range of products and services, and 96% said they had achieved their trade fair visit objectives. Despite the currently difficult general conditions, visitors came to Frankfurt from 129 countries. With a total share of 72% international visitors, IFFA thus maintains its high relevance for the global industry. The top visitor nations included the Netherlands, Italy, Spain, Poland, USA, Brazil, Austria, Great Britain, Switzerland and France.<br />For the first time, IFFA was also extended into the digital space: on the IFFA Digital Extension platform, participants were able to contact each other in advance, make appointments and find out about exhibitors' innovations even before the fair began. These functions of the digital event platform will also be available after the IFFA onsite event until 31 May 2022.</p> <p>(Photo source: Messe Frankfurt)</p> <p> </p> | 1 | Technology | 2022-05-20 15:11:34 | 2025-08-01 16:54:32 | Details Edit Delete |
