Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
Some 45,000 jobs are generated by the biodiesel sector, highlighting its socioeconomic impact in the interior of Argentina (Cámara Argentina de Biocombustibles, 2023).
By 15 % annually, biodiesel production grew between 2018 and 2022, generating significant economic benefits in rural areas (Federación Nacional de Biocombustibles de Colombia, 2023).
A 70% reduction in the use of fossil fuels has enabled this process, in addition to improving waste management and generating income from the sale of surplus electricity (ECLAC, 2022).
More than 40% energy savings and 35% lower emissions confirm the viability of biofuels in livestock farming (Foundation for Agricultural Innovation, 2023).
165 billion liters of biofuels were produced worldwide in 2022, which projects an annual growth of 5% until 2028 (IEA, 2023).
More than 35 billion liters of bioethanol were produced in 2023, representing nearly 30% of the global market (UNICA, 2023).
185.4 million tons was the record for world aquatic animal production in 2022 (FAO, 2024).
94 million tons were produced by aquaculture in 2022, surpassing for the first time capture fisheries, which reached 91 million (FAO, 2024).
115 million tons came from marine areas in 2022, 69 % from capture fisheries and 31 % from aquaculture (FAO, 2024).
70 million tons were contributed by inland waters in 2022, 84% by aquaculture and 16% by capture fisheries (FAO, 2024).
