Global feed production

The 2012 Alltech Global Feed Survey found that in 2011 world industrial feed production reached an estimated 873 million metric tons. IFIF estimates the industry is worth approximately US$ 350 billion.

The survey covers 130 countries and this extensive geographical scope resulted in a larger total figure than previous estimates. For example, in 2010 World Feed Panorama survey estimated global production at 720 million metric tons. The primary difference between figures is most likely due to the larger number of countries reviewed in the Alltech Survey.
