Brazil at the Center of the Global Protein Conversation
January sets the tone for the year ahead. It is a month of planning, strategic decisions and, above all, global connection. For the animal protein industry, there is no better stage for this dialogue than the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), one of the world’s most relevant meeting points for leaders, companies and innovators shaping the future of food production.
In 2025, Brazil reached a historic milestone by surpassing the United States to become the world’s largest beef producer. This achievement goes far beyond volume. It reflects decades of investment in technology, genetics, nutrition, management, sustainability and efficiency across the entire production chain and reinforces Brazil’s role as a key reference in global animal protein production.
This leadership is not limited to beef. Brazil stands out as a strategic player across poultry, swine and aquaculture, combining scale with innovation and an increasingly global mindset. In a world facing growing demand, stricter requirements and complex challenges related to food security and sustainability, Brazil’s experience and solutions are part of the global conversation.
IPPE represents exactly this moment of convergence. It is where markets connect, partnerships are built and the future of animal protein is discussed with a global perspective. Being present here is not only about showcasing products or technologies, but about reinforcing positioning, credibility and long-term commitment to the evolution of the industry.
In this special English-language edition of Feed&Food, distributed at IPPE in Atlanta, we bring insights, perspectives and stories that reflect the dynamics of the global protein market, highlighting Brazil’s role and its dialogue with the world. Our commitment remains the same: to be a trusted platform for information, connection and strategic thinking among those who lead and transform animal protein production worldwide.
We wish you a productive IPPE and a successful start to the year.
