MARKET REPORT 68 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE May 2023 proximately 20 million tons, South Korea with approximately 19 million tons and Philippines with approximately 14 million tons. FEED PRODUCTION BASED ON TYPE Broiler feeds are in the first place in compound feed production in Asia-Pacific on a species basis. The region's total broiler feed production, which was 153.4 million tons in 2021, increased to 153.5 million tons with a very small increase in 2022. According to the Alltech report, broiler feed production decreased in China but increased in Vietnam. In China, production was affected by low market demands and high raw materials prices. In India, higher broiler feed prices continue to challenge the industry’s margins and limit capacity growth. Avian influenza affected India, Japan, Korea and Vietnam. Feed production in the Philippines increased significantly, due to a switch from pig farming to broilers because of African swine fever (ASF). Pig feeds rank second in Asia-Pacific's feed production. The pig feed production of Asia-Pacific, which was 143.5 million tons in 2021, decreased by 2.2% in 2022 to 140.4 million tons. The Alltech report includes the following information about the pig feed industry in the region: Vietnam pig feed production increased by 3.36 million tons in 2022. Production has recovered to nearly the same level it was before the region was challenged by ASF. As pork prices increase, more farms are investing in pigs. Low pork prices led to a decrease of 5.5 million tons in pig feed production in China. Because of a sharp increase in the number of breeding sows in 2021, pigs sold quickly in the first half of 2022, lowering the price of pork and leading to a decline in the number of live pigs. In the first eight months of 2022, consumption of pig feed decreased by about 8%, according to the China Feed Industry Association. Thailand’s pig feed production was reduced by 1.01 million tons because of ASF. Layer feeds rank third in feed production in Asia-Pacific. According to the Alltech report, Asia-Pacific's layer feed production, which was 76.5 million tons in 2021, decreased by 0.7% in 2022 to 75.9 million tons. According to the report, although the 2022 price for eggs was relatively high in China, the feed material cost (maize and soybean meal) was prohibitive to layer production. The number of laying hens in stock in 2022 decreased significantly compared with 2021. Layer feed tonnage was down 3%, or a reduction of 1 million tons. In the Philippines, layer feed production increased by 0.734 million tons — or 28% — because ASF prompted conversions from swine production to layer and broiler farms. India reported an 8% decrease in layer feed tonnage because many small layer farms shut down.
