Spain: Exports Continue to Drive Spanish Livestock Production

  |   Attaché Report (GAIN)   |   SP2021-0026

In 2020, Spanish livestock exports continued to reach record levels mainly driven by significant demand in the Middle East for cattle and in Asian markets for pork. This trend may continue in 2021 but at a slower pace due to uncertainties in global markets. The Spanish meat sector is committed to careful production expansion, investment to improve the overall meat sector, and diversification of export markets.
