Regardless of the ups and downs of poultry manufacturing in Latin America, poultry proteins – each hen and eggs – are the animal proteins most consumed within the overwhelming majority of the area. In accordance to my analysis, the regional common annual hen consumption in 2023 was 35.01 kg per particular person. This determine represents a 3.99% improve over 2022. As for eggs, the 2023 regional annual common is 234 eggs per particular person. That’s 4 extra eggs than 2022 or a 1.67% improve year-over-year.
There are a number of nations which are above that common. For instance, Panama, though a small inhabitants and poultry business, has the excellent document of 54 kg per particular person a yr; then comes Peru with 52.35 kg per particular person and Argentina with 49.30 kg per particular person. The latter is excellent, contemplating the outdated custom of consuming beef that Argentinians have. Bolivia and the Dominican Republic are each 48 kg per particular person. The three largest poultry industries – Brazil, Colombia and Mexico – have a consumption of 45.10 kg, 35.80 kg and 34.78 kg per particular person, respectively. Value highlighting is {that a} good quarter of Mexico’s consumption comes from imports, so the alternative for development is there.
The bottom shoppers are Honduras, Nicaragua and Venezuela, with 22.72 kg, 21.5 kg and 17.14 kg. Knowledge from Nicaragua is from 2021, because the poultry producers affiliation was banned. I need to spotlight Venezuela; it has the lowest per capita consumption within the area, however take heed to me, I’m certain it can shock us quickly with higher numbers.
In egg consumption, Mexico continues to be on high, with 392 eggs per particular person however zero development. Evidently, it’s exhausting rising consumption at these very excessive ranges. However different nations are preventing on this “race.” Argentina, as soon as once more one of many high shoppers, has a consumption of 336 eggs per particular person, with a 4.35% improve over 2022. Colombia reported 323 eggs per particular person, a 2.54% improve over 2023.
The opposite nations which are above common in egg consumption are Uruguay (296 eggs), Guatemala (281 eggs), Dominican Republic (280 eggs), Brazil (242 eggs) and Costa Rica (240 eggs). From these, we should spotlight the potential Brazil has, with such a big inhabitants. This nation will quickly be one other of the surprises.
The nations with the bottom numbers are Paraguay (160 eggs), Venezuela (118 eggs) and Nicaragua (94 eggs).
It will be good to check these numbers with different components of the world. However one factor is for certain – Latin America retains on rising in poultry.
