East Asia, Europe and North America, which also have
access to ocean ports, show a high prevalence of industrial
systems and import much of the necessary feed. In
contrast, there are areas with ample feed supplies such as
the mid-western United States of America (USA) and
interior parts of Brazil and Argentina, where industrial
systems rely mainly on local feed surpluses. East and
Southeast Asia strongly dominate industrial monogastrics’
production in the developing regions. Southern Brazil is
another industrial production hot spot at world level,
while important regional centres of industrial production
are found, for example in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela
and Chile. Similarly there are major regional centres for the
industrial production of chicken in Nigeria, South Africa
and the Middle East.
