President's Message
We thought 2021 would be the year of the turning point, the year in which
we would overcome the hardship of the pandemic. Unfortunately, with the
waxing and waning of events, new variants emerged, which delayed the
end of this cycle. However, the development of vaccines brought us hope,
since the sooner the entire population is immunized, the sooner we will be
able to return to our daily activities, gradually resuming normality.
The pandemic period brought us great learnings and challenges. In this
context, resilience was the mantra for those who remained focused on
ensuring food supply, with the purpose of preserving food security for the
Brazilian population and for more than 180 nations, to which we export our
products.
Following this trend, the poultry and pork industries in Brazil fulfilled their
social role by promoting job and income generation throughout the country,
especially in the countryside.
We were, and still are, resilient in facing the sharpest increase in production
costs ever experienced, encompassing all inputs - and affecting other crops
beyond corn and soybean, which, alone, account for more than 70% of farm
costs. We also made all the necessary investments to protect employees, in
order to continue producing amidst the pandemic.
We reaped good results, achieving historical figures on yield, per capita
consumption, and exports in virtually all segments of our industries.
We bolstered our role in generating foreign revenues by
increasing our international outreach, while expanding our
presence on Brazilian shelves and at the consumers' table!
All of these achievements result from the intensive work
of the sector, contributing with market intelligence, among
other benefits. Specialized and strategic information is a
strategic advantage in our decision making.
This is one of ABPA's aims: to generate value for its members
and society through high-quality, in-depth analytical
information. The new ABPA Annual Report 2022 is one of the
products of the Association which accomplishes this role.
In the following pages, detailed information is available on the
most diverse production segments in which ABPA members
operate. Our sustainability commitments, sectoral statistical
data, and information on the characteristics and qualities that
make Brazil a global benchmark in the production of animal
protein. All of this may be found in this recently published
report.
Enjoy your reading!
