Rabobank sponsored the Executive Luncheon held during the 2023 IPPE. The keynote speaker was Nan-Dirk Mulder, Senior Global Specialist for Animal Protein with Rabobank. His presentation entitled “Investing in Global Poultry Markets” represented a review of opportunities in the U.S. and international poultry sectors. Mulder commented on the increased production of chicken and eggs in 2023 with the most intense expansion in Asia and Latin America. He predicted that production will increase in importing nations to satisfy demand with less reliance on trade.
With respect to the U.S. industry, Mulder projected that integrators would increase margins by marketing additional value-added products. Worldwide, value chains will be extended and the structure of industries will conform to operating environments and the market demands.
