Pork serves as a primary protein source in numerous South American nations, spurring the demand for high-quality swine feed to enhance both productivity and meat quality. Dominating the region, Chile stands out as South America's leading pork consumer. Data from the Office of Agrarian Studies and Policies of Chile (ODEPA), reveals that in 2023, the per capita pork consumption in Chile is around 21.0 kg annually. Also, Brazil's household per capita income saw an 11.5% increase in 2023 from the previous year, hitting a historical peak of R$ 1,848, which is creating the demand for premium pork products.

As swine farming becomes increasingly commercialized, there's a rising appetite for nutritious and well-balanced feed formulations. Data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) and COMEX STAT indicate that pork production in 2023 saw a 2.3% uptick from the previous year, climbing from 5.2 million metric tons to 5.3 million metric tons. Furthermore, advancements in feed formulations and livestock nutrition are enhancing feed efficiency, further fueling market expansion. A prime example is the adoption of precision feeding systems, which leverage sensors and artificial intelligence to track pig behavior and feeding habits. Such insights enable optimal feed allocation, significantly curbing feed wastage.
