The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 117.1 points in November, down 1.1 points (0.9 percent) from October, also marking the fifth consecutive monthly decline, but remained 4.6 points (4.1 percent) above its value a year ago. In November, international bovine meat prices fell for the fifth month in a row, as increased export supplies from Australia added to already high supplies from Brazil, notwithstanding China's continuing strong import demand. By contrast, world prices of all other meat types rebounded, with the price of ovine meat rising the most, driven by

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 118.4 points in October, down 1.6 points (1.4 percent) from September, marking the fourth consecutive monthly decline, with world prices of all meat types registering drops. However, the index remained 6.4 points (5.8 percent) above its value a year ago. International ovine meat prices registered the steepest drop, underpinned by the impacts of currency movements and seasonally increasing supplies from Oceania amid subdued import purchases. Likewise, world pig meat prices dropped substantially on weak global import purchases in tandem with softer internal demand in

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 121.4 points in September, down 0.6 points (0.5 percent) from August, also registering the third consecutive monthly decline, but still 8.7 points (7.7 percent) above its value in the corresponding month last year. In September, international price quotations for ovine meat declined the most, underpinned by the impacts of currency movements. Bovine meat prices also fell on high export availabilities from Brazil and elevated cattle liquidation in some producing countries. Meanwhile, poultry meat prices fell marginally as world import purchases remained subdued, notwithstanding constrained

In August, international quotations for poultry meat fell, driven by lower import purchases by leading importers and somewhat elevated global export availabilities. Meanwhile, world bovine meat prices declined on weak domestic demand in some leading exporting countries, raising export supplies, and a modest increase

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 124.0 points in July, down 0.6 points (0.5 percent) from June, marking the first month-on-month decline following six consecutive monthly increases. In July, world quotations for ovine meat dropped steeply, due to increased export availabilities from Australia amid high slaughter and expectations of increased lamb supplies, faced by lower import demand. Meanwhile, international bovine meat prices fell, reflecting increased export availabilities from major producing regions compared to global demand, while weak overall import demand kept pig meat prices stable despite the tight supply of

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 124.7 points in June, up 2.1 points (1.7 percent) from May, setting a new record high and exceeding by 14.0 points (12.7 percent) its June 2021 value. World prices across all meat types increased, with poultry quotations rising sharply, reaching an all-time high, underpinned by the continued tight global supply conditions impacted by the war in Ukraine and the Avian Influenza outbreaks in the Northern Hemisphere. Bovine meat prices edged up, as China lifted its import restrictions for purchases from Brazil. Meanwhile, pig meat

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 122.0 points in May, up 0.6 points (0.5 percent) from April, setting a new all-time high, driven by a steep rise in world poultry meat prices, more than offsetting declines in pig and ovine meat values. In May, poultry meat prices rose, reflecting the continued supply chain disruptions in Ukraine and recent cases of avian influenza amid a surge in demand in Europe and the Middle East. Meanwhile, international bovine meat prices remained stable, as increased supplies from Brazil and Oceania were adequate to

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 121.9 points in April, up 2.7 points (2.2 percent) from March and setting a new record high. The continued price strength stemmed from higher world poultry, pig and bovine meat prices. The poultry meat price increase was driven by solid demand amidst tight global supplies, reflecting disruptions to exports from Ukraine and rising avian influenza outbreaks in the Northern hemisphere. Meanwhile, pig meat prices rose further, although less steeply than in March, on the prolonged low supply of slaughter pigs in Western Europe and

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 120.0 points in March, up 5.5 points (4.8 percent) from February, also reaching an all-time high. In March, pig meat prices registered the steepest monthly increase on record since 1995, underpinned by supply shortfalls of slaughter pigs in Western Europe and a surge in internal demand in light of the upcoming Easter holidays. International poultry meat prices firmed, fuelled by reduced supplies from leading exporting countries following avian flu outbreaks, further impacted by Ukraine's inability to export poultry meat amid the ongoing conflict.

In February, international bovine meat quotations reached a new record high, driven by strong global import demand amidst tight supplies of slaughter-ready cattle in Brazil and high demand for herd rebuilding in Australia. Pig meat prices also edged up, reflecting increased internal demand and scaled-back hog supplies in the European Union and the United States of America. Quotations for ovine meat weakened

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 112.6 points in January, up slightly from December 2021, and lifting the index value 16.6 points (17.3 percent) above its corresponding month a year ago. In January, bovine prices reached a new peak, underpinned by strong global import demand exceeding export supplies, mainly from Brazil and Oceania, reflecting lower cattle supplies for processing. Meanwhile, pig meat quotations rose slightly, as labour shortages and high input costs dampened global supply, countering the downward pressure from China's slowdown in imports. By contrast, ovine and poultry meat

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 111.3 points in December, marginally changed from November and 16.5 points (17.4 percent) above its year-earlier value. In December, poultry prices fell, primarily weighed by increased global exportable supplies, while ovine prices declined on increased supplies from Oceania. Meanwhile, pig meat prices fell for the sixth consecutive month, though slightly, as the continued downward pressure stemming from the decline in Chinese imports was compensated by increased pre-Christmas sales in major producing countries. In 2021, the FAO Meat Price Index averaged 107.6 points, up 12.1

Dear Network Members,

We are pleased to share the latest report of the Meat Market Review, which is a follow up to the Food Outlook November issue. The report provides a detailed account of the emerging trends and outlook in global meat markets, including international meat prices, global production and trade in meat and meat products across the four main meat types. International meat prices remained high amid tight exportable supplies, despite recent price declines due to a slowdown in imports by China. Meanwhile, world meat production is anticipated to

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 115.5 points in September, virtually unchanged from its revised value for August and 24.1 points (26.3 percent) above its value in the corresponding month a year ago. In September, international quotations for ovine meat increased further, driven by firm global demand while exportable supplies remained tight. The bovine meat price rally also continued unabated, as limited availability of cattle for slaughter in Oceania and South America weighed on global supplies.

In September, quotations for pig meat fell, partly influenced by China’s decision to impose a ban on imports from Germany following the detection of African swine fever (ASF) among wild boars, while ovine meat prices waned on high seasonal

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 93.2 points in August, almost unchanged from its July value and down 9.1 points (8.9 percent) from the corresponding month last year. In August, quotations for bovine and poultry meat declined, caused by a weaker pace of import purchases, notwithstanding reduced slaughter of animals and processing in key producing regions. Meanwhile, price quotations for ovine meat fell due to weak import demand amid an influx of new season lamb supplies in Oceania. By contrast, pig meat prices

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 93.0 points in July, down 1.7 points (1.8 percent) from June and 9.4 points (9.2 percent) below the corresponding month last year. Price quotations for pig and bovine meats both fell in July, as global import demand volumes remained below export availabilities, notwithstanding the coronavirus-induced disruptions to slaughtering, processing and export activities in key exporting regions. Quotations for poultry meat registered a recovery, following five months of consecutive declines, largely reflecting production cuts in Brazil, triggered by high feed costs and concerns over

The FAO Food Price Index (FFPI) has been revised rebasing it from the period 2002-2004 to 2014-2016. US and Brazilian export unit values for various meats have been revised to include fresh and chilled products, in addition to frozen, effectively adding 8 (new) quotations to the index defined by the Harmonized System (HS) codes, resulting in a more comprehensive and representative view on the unit prices of the most traded meat products. Australian lamb prices added to the ovine subcomponent.

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 168.8 points in April, down 4.7 points (2.7 percent) from March, registering the fourth consecutive monthly decline. In April, international quotations for all meat types represented in the index fell, as a partial recovery in import demand, mainly in China, was insufficient to balance a slump in imports from other countries, caused by continued COVID-19 related economic hardship, logistical bottlenecks and a steep fall in demand from the food services sector due to lockdowns.

The June upward revision primarily reflects a sharp rise in bovine meat prices from Brazil, caused by a decline in exports following logistical problems due the prolonged truck drivers' strike.

The small month-on-month increase was largely driven by an upswing in ovine meat values as well as a small rise in pig meat prices, while bovine and poultry price quotations fell slightly.

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 173.2 points in September, unchanged from August but up 9.5 points (5.8 percent) compared to the same period last year. In September, a rise in the international prices of ovine meat countered a decline in pig meat quotations, while those of bovine and poultry meat remained largely unchanged. In the case of ovine meat, prices rose, buoyed by strong import demand, especially from the Middle East and South East Asia, coupled with continued overall supply constraints in Oceania. By contrast, pigmeat prices fell

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 172.4 points in August, down 2.1 points (1.2 percent) from its slightly revised value for July. At this level, the index is 8.5 percent above the level recorded last January and 18.7 percent below its peak reached in August 2014. While international prices of bovine meat declined, those of pig, ovine and poultry meat were virtually unchanged. The decline in bovine meat quotations reflected increased export supplies from Australia and prospects for increased domestic supplies in the United States. While significant import demand

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 175.1 points in July, virtually unchanged from June. At this level, the Index is 8.2 percent above July 2016 and 17.4 percent below its peak reached in August 2014. An increase in international prices for ovine meat in July was offset by downward price movements in bovine, pig and poultry sectors. In the case of bovine meat, prices fell due to weaker import demand in the United States because of increased domestic supplies. While global markets for pig and poultry meat remained well

The FAO Meat Price Index averaged 166.6 points in April, up 2.8 points (1.7 percent) from March, continuing a trend of modest increases evident since the start of the year. From January to April, the Index rose by almost 5 percent. Quotations for ovine and pig meat firmed, while those of bovine and poultry meat were almost unchanged. Strong domestic demand in the EU, combined with increased sales to China and the Republic of Korea, stimulated pig meat prices. Seasonal demand bolstered ovine quotations, while poultry and bovine meat

Quotations for the individual categories of meat were little changed. Slight increases for bovine meat and pigmeat were, respectively, influenced by continued constrained availability in Oceania and firm import demand from Asia, particularly China. Poultry and ovine meat markets remained well-balanced.

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 160.6 points in February, up 1.7 points (1.1 percent) from January, with prices of bovine and ovine meat receiving a boost while those of poultry and pig meat were little changed. In Australia, quotations climbed as herd rebuilding reduced availability of bovine meat. Meanwhile, the ending of the seasonal slaughter peak for ovine meat in Oceania impinged on supply and triggered a price increase. Pig and poultry meat markets, however, remained well-balanced.

A rise in quotations for bovine meat was counterbalanced by a fall for those of ovine meat and a small decrease for poultry and pig meat.

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 161.5 points in November, essentially unchanged from its revised value for October. Lower prices for ovine meat, pigmeat and chicken meat were counter balanced by a rise in bovine meat quotations. Adequate availability of pigmeat within the EU, ahead of the peak season for ovine meat production in Oceania and a continued downward drift in chicken meat prices contributed to quotations for these commodities falling back somewhat. Conversely, tighter domestic supplies of bovine meat in Australia caused export quotations from this source to

Following the interesting discussion on the FAO International Meat Price Index, I would like to ask members whether they have any suggestions for obtaining current, representative meat export prices from any of the major exporting (or importing) countries.

As the Index is currently constituted, we have estimate most of the sub-prices , as they are not available by the time the calculation has to be made each month (first Monday of the following month) to fit in with the publication schedule for the FAO Food Price Index

Hello Lee,

Thank you for your question on whether beef exports from Canada, Mexico and New Zealand could be included in the FAO Meat Price Index.

The aim of the Index is to monitor general commodity price trends, rather than provide reference data on individual country's exports. In choosing which countries to include in the Index,we have concentrated on the largest exporters. In the case of beef, these are the Brazil, the United States and Australia. Of course, one country missing by this definition is India, which is a

Again, many thanks.

Dear Lee

Please find the information you need at the following link: http://www.fao.org/fileadmin/templates/est/COMM_MARKETS_MONITORING/Meat/Documents/Meat_tables.pdf
Most prices utilized in the calculation of the FAO Meat Price Index are not available when the FAO Food Price Index is computed and published; therefore, the value of the Meat Price Index for the most recent months is derived from a mixture of projected and observed prices. This can, at times, require significant revisions in the final value of the FAO Meat Price Index.

As Roberto notes, the products that are included in the index make a difference. The bovine index includes exports of cow 90CL to the USA. Prices for this product may very well be at a different level than average domestic beef prices in Australia and may follow different trends over a short period. They may also be at a different level and follow different trends than other components of the index, in the short run. In the long run, as Roberto notes, a major change in a large market,

Dear Emanuele and list members, I think the price index should be based on trade prices and not internal prices, that can be distorted by many factors. Trade prices give us a reasonable idea about price changes in world markets, which is what we are interested in. What becomes very relevant is what products should be included in the index.
Also, at the end of the day, internal prices of relevant traders will be reflected in trade prices, as has happened in 2014, when the surge in US prices

Dear David Michael and other list members,

I think part of this could be a conversion from domestic prices into USD and due to the depreciation of most currencies against the USD the x-rate plays against the domestic price developments.
But not to the extent that the FAO price index shows. So I would agree with Michael.
please see the chart we did in agri benchmark beef and Sheep network showing this effect for the producer beef prices in most countries.

Hello David,

Thank you for your comment.

Yes, as you write, the FAO meat index provides an indication of the movement of international prices. It is easy to imagine situations where domestic prices may not follow the same trend.

One issue to bear in mind is that all the base prices used for compiling the index are converted into USD before any calculations are made. Therefore, domestic prices may rise in local currency terms, but fall when converted into USD. This may be one element in explaining the discrepancy

Hi Emanuele,

The FAO meat list provides and interesting perspective of international prices. But domestically it seems to me there can be another picture. I have just taken a brief look at the bovine prices in your index which shows a decrease from 231 in 2014 to 213 in 2015 and 192 in October this year. Over this same period domestic beef and veal prices in Australia have increased almost 10% in every quarter since 2014, as measured by Australian Bureau of Statistics.

While trade data is available for both chilled and frozen bovine meat for the countries used to compile this section of the Index (Australia, Brazil and the United States), only average export prices for frozen meat are used. I was not involved in the orginal selection of data sources for the Index; however, I imagine this was done to ensure comparability between sources and to reflect that

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 163.4 points in October, down 1.7 points (1 percent) from its revised value for September. A decline in EU export prices for pigmeat, stemming from excess domestic supplies and a slackening in import demand from China, was the principal cause of the Index's decline. Additionally, Oceania bovine meat export prices continued to decrease, as increased domestic production in the United States obviated its need for external supplies. Conversely, Oceania ovine meat prices reached their highest level in almost two years, due to reduced

There is another angle of live export with regard to ritual slaughter of food animals. Being a consultant ,Halal Meat & Livestock, it was noticed that in some countries exporting live animals there are highly vocal, significant & effective animal welfare lobbies, pro-actively involved in the promotion of the export of Halal meat compared to live animals. It is impacting the international trade in live exports. Specially the volumes of Australian & New Zealand live exports to Middle East Muslim countries fall in this category.

Just an additional comment to reinforce the issue of live animal trade. This trade has been increasing to unexpected levels and nowadays we are seeing countries that restrict imports of beef from a certain origin authorizing the import of live bovine from this same country due to shortage of animals ready for slaughter in the country of destination. There are other countries, and in the EEC we have quite some examples, that are actually stimulating the livestock segment in neighboring countries by means of financing production, providing technical and

Hello David,

Thank you for your comments on the Index. Regarding some of the issues you raise:

Can fish also be included? This is under consideration. Fish is covered by a separate division within FAO and perhaps for this reason it was not included in the original Index - which had its origins as a means of monitoring changes in the basic foodstuffs covered by the Markets and Trade Division (grains and cereals; oilseeds; meat and dairy). On this point, it is worth noting that a number of important

It's a good concept. Comments:

1. Be useful to show different prices as well as the consolidated index. That is prices for poultry, bovine, ovine and pig. Can fish also be included?

2. Live animal trade. The absence of live animal trade which has been growing may bias the index towards those that are not subject to trade in live animals and away from cattle and sheep which are traded live.

The FAO Meat Price Index* averaged 163.5 points in September, essentially unchanged from August. Since January, when it hit a five-year low, the Index has risen by 12.6 percent. The largest increase for the year so far has been recorded for pigmeat, followed by ovine and poultry meat, while bovine meat experienced only a limited rise. Firm international demand, in particular from Asia, underpinned pigmeat and poultry meat prices, while reduced international supplies reinforced those of ovine meat. Meanwhile, a recovery in bovine meat production in the United States

Dear Group Members,

Thanks to Luis Pitombo from Brazil for sharing information below about an Embrapa project which is introducing a similar type of technology (related to my email below). The article is in Portuguese but the diagrams are interesting. The technology offers opportunities for early take-off of animals in drought-stricken areas. The challenge is looking at the economics of operations.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! Let's start off the year with a look at innovative technologies which can revolutionize livestock industries around the world.

This is being implemented in Hawaii but commercial farmers in Namibia actually introduced something similar for slaughter of wild game. VERY INTERESTING! I view the abattoir as the nexus between animal and human health and the way forward to commercialize and add value to animal carcasses (which could filter down the value chain to producers).

Hi all,
The Ministry of Livestock in the Sudan is looking for best practices in investment prioritization, innovation in investment financing and examples of effective PPPs. This is the context of on-going development of a national agricultural investment plan and efforts to better position "the livestock investment story" in the broader investment plan. They have designed a survey monkey for feedback from local stakeholders (see message below) but if you could share any innovations in investment financing or examples of successful PPPs in the livestock sector, sharing them would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Nancy

Also, of course, FAOSTAT<http://faostat3.fao.org/home/E> (FAO's agricultural data base) is always useful.

This is fantastic and exciting research which really could change the face of the global meat industry.

I would eat an artificial hamburger...but perhaps not at $400,000! Would you? Of course, Americans like their steaks which would be hard to replace. The following statement is also quite revealing: "According to one assessment, a vegetarian diet uses nearly three times less water than a non-vegetarian diet, and 2.5 times less energy.

Thanks to Steve for sharing these guidelines (value chain approach to management of FMD risk) which are REALLY INTERESTING ! Gavin Thomson has been promoting this approach towards "Commodity Based Trade" for a long time and recent work has been done in some areas of Namibia where FMD can be transmitted by local buffalos. I think that it is innovative and of particular interest to many African countries who want to "manage disease risk" while promoting exports.

Why Good Numbers Matter for the Livestock Sector and How Decision Makers Can Improve Them

By Ugo PicaCiammara and Nancy Morgan (FAO)
[cid:image008.jpg@01CF439D.E79323A0]
The growing demand for food of animal origin in developing countries represents a major opportunity for poverty reduction. Livestock ownership is recognized as a significant contribution, and in multiple ways, to households' livelihoods, including through the provision of cash income, food, manure, hauling services, savings, insurance and even social status.

1. Looking for national feed consultants(from Vietnam, India, Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, China) who can review trends/developments in feed/livestock sector, describe feed estimation mechanisms and undertake some preliminary analysis on estimating feed demand. See attached TOR. If you are from one of those countries and think that you qualify, send me your CV (previous work on feed estimation a requirement) We are also looking for an international feed expert who can draw together best practices on estimating feed requirements-again send me your CV.

Dear all,
Thanks to the nearly 200 people who have responded to the request below to participate in a feed survey, described below. We realize that the questions are technical and the topic extremely complicated; however, if you could take some time to fill in the survey, it would be very much appreciated. We have extended the deadline, based on requests, to 20 June.

1) Opportunities for Investment in Livestock in Africa : 2030-2050. This review is a product of the Gates funded “Livestock Data Innovation in Africa” project being implemented by the World Bank, FAO, ILRI in collaboration with AU-IBAR: http://www.africalivestockdata.org/

2) You can also see a live interview with me on CNBC (quite horrifying for me) on the topic of livestock in Africa: http://www.abndigital.com/page/multimedia/video/closing-bell/1597182-Impact-of-Livestock-Sector-in-Economic-Development

Please find links to USDA's most recent 2013 outlook on Livestock and Poultry: World Markets and Trade (complements of Claire Mezoughem: USDA). Also the production, supply, demand database is quite helpful for reviewing trends in livestock production, consumption and trade. Interesting that the downward revision in 2013 from previous estimate was to Indian beef exports; however, even with the revised export figures of 1.7 million, India STILL REMAINS THE LARGEST BEEF EXPORTER IN THE WORLD, trailed only by Brazil at 1. 6 million, Australia at 1.5 and the US (recovered from BSE) at 1.1 million tons. Wow.
