Milk and meat production contributes majorly as raw material for animal protein ingredients manufacturers
- The graph depicts the production data for raw materials such as meat of cattle and pigs with bone, fresh or chilled, raw milk from cattle and goats, skim milk from cows, and dry whey powder, excluding Meat of chickens, fresh or chilled, for all South American countries. Major animal protein forms use milk as their ultimate raw material for forming proteins, such as milk proteins, whey proteins, casein, and caseinates. After seeing volumes contract in 2019 due to unfavorable weather and economic conditions, milk production returned to a decisive growth rate in 2020. This achievement is being counteracted by the tremendous uncertainty brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. In Argentina and Uruguay, year-to-date growth clocked in at 8.7% and 3.9%, respectively, during the first six months of 2020. Significant increases also have been witnessed by net importing countries along the continent’s Pacific coast, namely Colombia and Chile.
- Argentina is also one of the major producers of milk in the region. Government policies, including trade interventionism and a heavy tax burden, continue to generate uncertainty and complicate operational planning resulting in reduced investment in the sector. However, a 4% increase in 2021 total milk output was observed as compared to 2020. Animal proteins such as collagen and gelatin are derived from meat slaughtering activities in the region. Beef production throughout Brazil continues to increase, with investments leading to improved production efficiency, disease management, and supply chain traceability. Much of beef productivity gains can be attributed to the increase in the size of their national herd, growing by almost 17 million heads over 20 years.
