Dive Insight:
The animal feed sector is a substantial industry, both in terms of cost and production. Its dollar figure is at $500 billion, and last year's feed production output came close to one billion tons. China is the number-one country producing feed at 189 million metric tons, followed by the U.S. and Brazil. William Reed Business Media already puts out an impressive list of food-industry digital publications, covering a range of topics from confectioneries to food quality. Given its scope, it must have felt that the feed niche had grown large enough to warrant its own site.
