It is well known that in the recent decade, global demand for animal products is steadily increasing, per SoyaNews. At the same time, considering world’s reduction of arable land, fresh water reserves, as well as high grain prices, caused by poor harvests and historically low carry- over stock- it is difficult to fulfill such a high demand.
All of these factors pose some serious challenge to the global agriculture, which is going to be forced to produce more with fewer resources.
"In 20 years, global demand for animal protein will increase by 45%," - he said. According to Rabobank forecasts, during 2010-2030 period demand for poultry meat will increase by 60%, eggs - by 48%, pork - by 42%, seafood and beef - 25%.
Normally, 70% of global demand growth for meat will be in Asia, and only 4% - for Russia. "Asia is a key determinant of growth in demand for animal proteins, - per expert, - This is a big challenge since it does not have the resources to meet this demand." Water and land resources in Asia are limited.
