30/01/2018: The global feed industry: Producing more than 1 billion metric tonnes

Last year, the Alltech Global Feed Survey estimated world animal feed production at over one billion metric tonnes globally for the first time. This year their estimates have confirmed that barrier has been crossed again, with a total of 1.07 billion tonnes of feed produced in 2017.


 Now in its seventh year of analysis, the Alltech Global Feed Survey continues to be the most quoted reference on the state of the feed industry, with last year's survey data citied in more than 1,000 reports by the United Nations, industry market research companies, leading agricultural institutions and associations. The survey data not only gives insights into the feed industry, but into the health of agriculture as a whole, and, to some degree, it reflects the strength of the individual economies of the countries included in the report. 

 The information becomes more robust and detailed every year, with new countries included this year, namely Cambodia, Laos, Fiji and Samoa, for a total of 144 countries. As their organisation's global reach expands, it is Alltech's goal to have the survey grow in scope. They also intend to provide open and free access to this report for the purposes of demonstrating the importance of animal agriculture and the centrality of the feed industry in feeding the world of future sustainability.
