Carlos Alberto Rivera Marín, the Trade Policy Coordinator of the FEP, highlighted the importance of the livestock sector's growth at the III Meat Forum, emphasizing the need to align with the global market to capitalize on its advantages. He pointed out that the demand for meat is increasing globally, with the price of beef experiencing the highest rise due to decreasing production and increasing demand. The United States, Brazil, the European Union, China, and India dominate the global beef production, with Colombia ranking 12th. The author also discussed the challenges and opportunities in the meat industry, such as the need for sanitary admissibility for meat products in international markets and the requirement for sustainable and efficient meat production to meet future demand.
