Spanish industrial production of compound feed for farm animals last year totaled 25,675,000 tons, a figure practically similar to that of 2020, when 25,352,373 tons of compound feed were produced in Spain. This is one of the data provided by the publication "Statistical Markets" published by the Spanish Confederation of Compound Animal Feed Manufacturers (CESFAC).
However, the forecast for the year 2022 is more negative, since it is expected that 24,680,000 tons of compound feed for farm animals will be produced industrially, which would mean a decrease of approximately 4%. Compared to European production, a decrease of approximately 3% is expected.
Spain continues to be the leading European producer of industrial compound feed, ahead of Germany, which in 2021 produced 22,211,000 tons and France (20,604,000 tons). By autonomous communities, Catalonia is the main feed producer, with more than 8 million tons, followed by Aragón and Castilla y León, both exceeding 5 million tons produced.
By species, swine is the main consumer of feed in Spain, followed by cattle and poultry.
