NEW YORK, Feb. 6, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Over the course of the last decade, advancements in technology have helped transform the livestock farming market. Precision livestock farming technology made traditional livestock farming activities more efficient and economical. Additionally, the increasing global demand for both meat and dairy products, extended profitability and high yield and its minimal impact on the environment and climate change are fueling the growth of the precision livestock farming market. As a result, it directly impacts the global meat industry. Meanwhile, the market value of processed meat is expected to cross the trillion-dollar mark by 2024, which is a phenomenal increase from its 2019 valuation of USD 587.15 Billion, according to data provided by Market Data Forecast. And as the demand for meat rises worldwide, so must the production of meat. In fact, most of the world's meat is produced in Asia, which generated 140 million metric tons of meat in 2016. Pork and poultry are the most widely produced types of meat. And, with the increasing demand for meat products, demand for livestock behavior and health monitoring applications has also spiked. Within the precision livestock farming market, it is expected to have the highest CAGR during the forecast period of 2019 to 2014. Furthermore, the high growth in this segment is to be driven predominantly by the increasing adoption of hardware devices such as sensors, RFID tags & readers and livestock collars for early detection of disease in livestock. The importance of early disease detection is especially prevalent now, as the Coronavirus outbreak in China becomes a major global concern. Overall, the precision livestock farming market is estimated to be worth USD 3.0 Billion in 2019 and is expected to reach USD 4.6 Billion by 2024 while registering a CAGR of 9.2% from 2019 to 2024.

Infectious diseases spreading to livestock is a major issue for the farming industry. Eric Toner, a Senior Scientist at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, explained to Business Insider that "Infectious diseases will continue to emerge and re-emerge. I think it's part of the world we live in now… We're in an age of epidemics because of globalization, because of encroachment on wild environments." The new coronavirus (named "2019-nCoV"), which originated in Wuhan, China, is the most recent example of a devastating outbreak. Poorly regulated live-animal markets mixed with illegal wildlife trade provide viruses with opportunities to spill over from wildlife hosts into the human population. As a result, U.S. hog futures sank to contract lows earlier last week, because of worries about the coronavirus causing chaos in the market. "Most of the focus I think remains on an unknown impact of China's expanding coronavirus issues," INTL FCStone said in a note to clients according to Reuters. "We're all aware the hog markets have long been counting on massive export business to China as our outlet for record large pork production, but now they're seeing a sharp decline in consumerism, travel restrictions, and now even three port closings until mid-February, which heightens exporters' anxieties further." New modern regulations, monitoring, adoption of technologies and integrity of farmers as well as food processing companies should help manage the outbreak, reducing risk of spreading infectious diseases.
China Xiangtai Food Co., Ltd. (NASDAQ: PLIN) announced today, "its supermarket sales growth of 300% during Chinese New Year 2020 compared to the same period of last year despite of the ongoing 2019 Novel Coronavirus [1].
To meet the public demand for food and to stabilize the pork price in the market, the Company has increased its efforts to ease the negative impact of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus on food supplies by continuing operating its business with transparency and integrity, keeping its pork price fair and stable, and timely delivering quality fresh pork and other freshly processed meat products to supermarkets in Chongqing every day.
Zeshu Dai, Chairwoman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, commented, 'The outbreak of the 2019 Novel Coronavirus has shadowed China and general population in many aspects. In order to ensure that consumers' basic living needs are met, supermarkets in various places still operate as usual. However, during the Chinese New Year and the coronavirus outbreak, many food suppliers have raised product prices due to temporary shortage in the supply chain, which has caused some distress to local residents.'
Ms. Dai continued, 'As a socially-responsible public company, we made our own efforts in maintaining sufficient meat supply, stabilizing market price, and striving to minimize the impact of this unfortunate event however we can. Consumption demand will likely rise once businesses resume their operations. We will continue to supply local supermarkets with sufficient fresh and quality meat at a reasonable price in order to meet consumers' demand.'
[1]2019 Novel Coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a virus (more specifically, a coronavirus) identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China. Early on, many of the patients in the outbreak in Wuhan, China reportedly had some link to a large seafood and animal market, suggesting animal-to-person spread. However, a growing number of patients reportedly have not had exposure to animal markets, indicating person-to-person spread is occurring. At this time, it's unclear how easily or sustainably this virus is spreading between people. The latest situation summary updates are available on The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's web page 2019 Novel Coronavirus, Wuhan, China.

Over the next five years, it is estimated that nearly 98 percent of protein consumption growth will happen outside the U.S. "That's why we're growing our business outside the U.S.," said King.
