China’s feed production in 2019
China’s feed industry began to grow significantly in 1978, which was also the first year of reform in China, resulting in China being the global leader in feed production for the past decade. The rapid development of Chinese feed industry makes a great contribution to the development of animal feeding industry and rich supply of meat, dairy and eggs available to Chinese citizens.
 

According to annual statistical data by the Chinese Feed Industry Association, in 2019, the total industrial feed production of China reached 228.854 million tonnes (mt). This was a 3.7 percent reduction when compared to 2018, primarily a result of Africa Swine Fever (ASF). In 2019, formulated feed, concentrated feed and additive premix production reached 210,138mt, 12,419mt and 5426 million tonnes respectively, which were three percent, 12.4 percent and 10.6 percent reductions respectively compared to 2018.

The feed production volumes by species were as follows: swine feed 76,632mt, layered feed 31,166mt, poultry feed 84,648mt, ruminant feed 1109mt, pet food 0.871mt, aqua feed 22,029mt and other feed 2419mt. China remained the top producer of swine feed and aqua feed in the world in 2019.

The total output value of the feed industry in China in 2019 was 80,881 billion yuan, a nine percent reduction when compared to 2018. Feed additive product value reached 83.93 billion yuan in 2019.
