4 agri benchmark understanding agriculture worldwide Page Claus Deblitz Global meat production, drivers and challenges

5 Why global farm-level benchmarking? We are all directly or indirectly linked via markets and product flows Decision making is done by millions of producers every day It needs an approach in close cooperation with producers On global scale there is a lack of comparable farm data Collecting and comparing this data and information assists in Understanding agriculture worldwide Know where you are Learn why you are where you are Conclude what can be changed to develop Page Claus Deblitz Global meat production, drivers and challenges

10 Typical farms the principle Imagine you have a guest from a foreign country who is interested to see how sheep farming is done in your country. You would want to show your guest a farm that is located in an important sheep producing region, using the common technology for sheep production, running the prevailing production system, having a not too small and not too big size, using the prevailing combination of labour, land and capital. In other words, you want to show your guest a typical farm! Page Claus Deblitz Global meat production, drivers and challenges

37 Challenges Claus Deblitz

38 Challenges (or drivers?) Diseases (Bird Flu, FMD, Schmallenberg, Blue Tongue) Technical barriers (growth promoters, ractopamine) Food safety and scandals (horse meat, E-coli, antibiotics ) Animal welfare and related regulations (sow housing, castration of piglets, cage egg production ) Environmental restrictions on production (license to produce) Exchange rates Health issues attributed to meat consumption Increasing vegetarianism (coming from low level) Page 38 Claus Deblitz

39 The particular challenge for beef Land requirement Beef Sheep Pig Chicken Feed conversion Cycles per year 0.3 (pasture) (silage) 2-3 (feedlot) Emissions Herbivores Can use (marginal) grasslands Granivores Need grains animal high medium low low manure medium low high medium feed low-medium low-medium depends on N used for grains sequestration not clear not clear low low Convenience (prepare) low low-medium medium-high high Page 39 Claus Deblitz

40 BR-600B AU-150 BR-140 CO-350 AR-380 AR-750 AU-85 UK-80 Increasing performance in the pasture system Daily weight gain (g/day) Finishing period (days) Page 40 Claus Deblitz

41 Bridging the gap between top and bottom 25 Multi-stakeholder approach coordinated by FAO/AGAL Gov ts, NGOs, industry, research, FAO Three focus areas: 1. Closing ( reducing ) the efficiency gap (agri benchmark / Ernesto Reyes chairs this Focus area) 2. Restoring value to grassland (overgrazing, desertification ) 3. From waste to worth (manure, water, nutrient, environment) Page 41 Claus Deblitz

42 Increasing productivity in the pasture system More calves per cow Genetics Reproduction management Reduction of mortality/disease Improved pasture management Subdivision / fencing Rotational grazing Fertilisation New pasture varieties >> more cows and calves per ha >> higher weight gains >> more weight per ha Page 42 Claus Deblitz

43 Moving finishing from pasture to feedlot Move cattle from pasture to feedlot Seasonal (Brazil), approx. 10 % Generally (Argentina), > 50 % days >> less land required for finishing >> more cows/calves can be kept on remaining grassland >> higher carcass weights >> consistency of carcasses >> improved beef quality? >> environmental issues? Page 43 Claus Deblitz

44 Ingredients Incentives Prices rather than subsidies Integration of producers (where does my beef go?) Technology Genetics Mechanisation Growth promoters Analysis / benchmarking With others and over time Buy or share a weigher Participate in agri benchmark Management Animals (health, performance) Feed (yield and quality) Marketing (Further) education Research Extension and advisory Page 44 Claus Deblitz

45 My personal conclusions High meat prices (and costs) in the world, not only in Europe Profitability low and driven by feed, land, energy and labour (mainly in emerging economies) (Decoupled) government payments and other enterprises important for whole farm profitability Sheep in 2012 slightly better off than beef Productivity increases will happen, mainly in pasture systems and through transition of finishing from pasture to feedlot Big potential from reducing the gap between bottom 25 and top 25 Education, incentives and extension services are key Page 45 Claus Deblitz International comparison
