The European Commission has adopted its first-ever Livestock Strategy alongside a comprehensive Protein Action Plan, aiming to lift the EU's self-sufficient protein share to 35% over the next decade. While European feed federations FEFAC and FEFANA welcome the dual framework, they urge policymakers to expand their strategic focus toward critical vulnerabilities in specialty feed ingredients and micro-ingredients.

Europe’s food security depends on a stable supply of specialty feed ingredients, yet high import dependency leaves the sector vulnerable to geopolitical risks and market shocks.

Joerg Seifert, Secretary General of FEFANA, emphasizes the importance of maintaining competitiveness of the European feed industry.
