The global animal protein market for the coming year will be influenced by various factors including climate, geopolitical issues, health challenges, and purchasing power. Trade barriers continue to pose challenges for the export sector due to low predictability. In terms of chicken meat, key producing countries like the USA, Brazil, China, and EU-27 are expected to maintain their growth, while health concerns related to Avian Influenza persist. The market will also see increased competition with Brazil in certain markets and the prospect of lower beef prices may boost consumption of both proteins.
