The USDA's report on the Spanish meat sector forecasts a continued growth in exports, albeit at a slower pace due to global market uncertainties. The sector is focusing on careful expansion, investment, and market diversification, with a commitment to improve animal welfare and sustainability. Despite challenges such as increased feed and energy costs, the sector is exploring new markets and has seen positive trade balances for live cattle since 2018. However, pork exports to China have decreased due to reduced demand, leading to a drop in pork prices. Despite these challenges, the sector is expected to remain economically profitable and is taking steps to reduce nitrogen and greenhouse gas emissions.
