America, in which a very small decline was observed. Africa showed 9 per cent growth, demonstrating an overall trend that as populations grow and become wealthier, interest in protein – particularly in palatable chicken – does as well. • Pig feed production saw an increase of nearly 1 per cent in 2018. The primary producing region for pig feed is Asia-Pacific, but this was also the only region that saw a decline in pig feed production as Mongolia, Vietnam, China, New Zealand and Japan experienced decreases. From a tonnage standpoint, Europe saw the largest growth at approximately 2.2 million tonnes. Russia and Spain accounted for the majority, while Finland, Denmark, France and Poland also contributed. Latin America saw the greatest growth in pig feed as a per centage at 5 per cent, with the largest growth seen in Mexico and Argentina. • Global dairy feed production saw growth in North American, Europe and Africa, while Latin America remained flat. Europe, a global leader in dairy production, grew on average by approximately 4 per cent. The largest increase was in Turkey with 10 per cent, while Ireland, Russia and the U.K. also contributed to the region’s growth. Africa’s growth was primarily due to a significant increase in both Morocco and Nigeria. • North America has always led beef feed production and continues to do so with an increase of 3 per cent in 2018. Europe saw a small decline at barely 1 per cent and remained in second place. Latin America saw strong growth of approximately 8 per cent, with Mexico and Argentina as the primary contributors. As a result, the Latin American region has taken third place in beef feed production, moving ahead of the Asia-Pacific region. China and Australia both saw growth in the Asia-Pacific region but could
not offset the overall decline in countries such as Bangladesh, Mongolia, Indonesia, Taiwan, Vietnam and Pakistan. • Overall, aquaculture feeds showed growth of 4 per cent over last year. This was primarily attributed to strong increases in the Asia-Pacific and European regions. The traditional Asia-Pacific leaders in aquaculture, Vietnam, India and Indonesia, combined for an additional 1.58 million tonnes of feed in the region. China, the region’s leader, also saw an increase of 1 per cent over last year. The primary European leaders either experienced strong growth or remained relatively flat. Those that did grow included Norway and Turkey, both at 7 per cent, and Spain at a substantial 31 per cent. The other regions remained relatively flat or saw only a 1 per cent increase or decrease in feed production, demonstrating the continuity of the industry as a whole. • The pet food sector saw growth of approximately 1 per cent, primarily attributed to an increase in the Asia-Pacific region, which was offset by a decrease in the Latin American and African regions. North America and the Middle East both remained relatively flat. In previous surveys, Europe had been the top-producing region for pet food production, but after a reassessment of 2017 numbers and despite growth of 2 per cent, it ranks just behind North America. Europe is estimated in 2018 to have produced 8.6 million tonnes in total, approximately 200,000 behind North America. Africa saw a small decrease in production, but the actual tonnage is quite small compared to many of the other regions. The Latin American region experienced a decrease of about 5 per cent, which was spread across several countries, including Chile, Venezuela, El Salvador, Colombia, Argentina and Ecuador.
