Data or statistical facts on the situation and perspectives of agri-food systems and the impact of policies
The food system has become more “global”, as exports from developing countries and emerging economies made up more than one-third of global agri-food exports by 2018 with around a third of global agricultural and food exports traded within global value chains
14.2 million tonnes is the projected increase in global trade in dairy products over the next 10 years, reaching that figure in 2032 (OECD and FAO, 2023).
70% is the projected level of export participation in the total value of production in Latin America and the Caribbean for 2033 (OECD and FAO, 2024).
70,000 million euros per year exceeded Spanish agri-food and fisheries exports for the first time (MAPA, 2024).
25% of the world's beef supply and 10% of the world's milk supply come from South America (UNCCD, 2024).
19% is the projected growth in the value of imports into North America by 2033, compared to a 13% increase in the value of exports (OECD and FAO, 2024).
34% is North America's share of global soybean exports in 2024, which is expected to decline to 31% by 2033 (OECD and FAO, 2024).
Nearly 20% of the total export value corresponds to the consolidated exports of the CAN countries, reaching an amount of US$30,628 m, reflecting the importance of intraregional trade in economic strengthening (Furche, 2024).
They reached US$20.559 billion, representing just over 13% of the total import value of the subregion (Furche, 2024).
More than US$10 billion is the surplus exhibited by the aggregated trade balance of the CAN agricultural sector, reflecting its strong export performance (Furche, 2024).
