Rabobank: meat, poultry production to drop in 2012
U.S. meat and poultry production is headed for what researchers at the Rabobank International Food & Agribusiness Research and Advisory group anticipate to be a “precipitous fall” by mid-2012, according to a recently released report. The group’s “Where’s the Beef?” report notes that drought in the U.S. is a major contributor to the production decline, but finds that global meat and poultry production is in the midst of a multi-year process of adjusting to higher and more volatile feed costs. Since the U.S. is a significant exporter of meat protein, the decline will also affect world markets as well as demand for feed, including corn.
