# R$21.13 Billion Industry Turns Byproducts into a New Value Chain - ABRA

> Brazil’s animal-rendering industry processed more than 14 million tonnes of byproducts in 2025, producing about 3.9 million tonnes of meals and 2.2 million tonnes of fats for uses including animal feed and fuel. Sector GDP fell about 21.9% from 2024 to R$21.13 billion, which ABRA attributed mainly to pressure on average meal and fat prices amid economic instability and volatility.

## Why it matters

Rendering converts meat-industry byproducts into feed ingredients, supporting their availability for livestock and feed producers. Reported price pressure on meals and fats is bearish for those rendered ingredients.
