Municipal Livestock Production

About - 2023

The Municipal Livestock Production Survey - PPM investigates, on an annual basis, information on the volume of animal species raised and on the production of milk, wool, hen and quail eggs, honey and silkworm cocoons, as well as on aquaculture (fish, shrimp and mollusk farming), comprising the major source of statistics on this economic segment.

This fact sheet presents general commentaries on the main results of PPM in 2023, with a highlight to the spatial distribution of the main livestock inventories and animal products in the territory, by Major Regions, Federation Units and Municipalities, and their relative participation in the total regional and national value of production, as well as the most influential factors to results. Other IBGE statistics on the topic and information from the Secretariat of Foreign Trade - Secex, of the Ministry of Economy, enrich the analyses presented and provide a comprehensive view of the Brazilian livestock production.

The IBGE also makes available the complete table plan in the IBGE System of Automatic Recovery - Sidra, which allows the construction of tables for every geographic level investigated – Brazil, Major Regions, Federation Units, Geographic Mesoregions and Microregions, and Municipalities.

Additional structural data are investigated in the Census of Agriculture, whereas short-term monitoring takes place by means of surveys conducted by the Institute every month, quarter or semester.

Information about the methodology used can be obtained in the publication Agricultural Surveys, of the Methodological Report Series..

Description

The survey investigates information on animal farming inventories and livestock products, having the municipality as the data collection unit.

The Municipal Livestock Production Survey - PPM began in the Ministry of Agriculture in 1945. The data were raised by the IBGE Data Collection Network and the Ministry of Agriculture developed the questionnaires, compiled the survey, edited it and disclosed the results. With Decree no. 73,482, of January 17, 1974, the IBGE became in charge of all the phases of the survey from that date onward, as well as of the other statistical surveys related to the agricultural sector. Nevertheless, the statistics related to the years of 1971 and 1972 are not available, since they were not released by the Ministry. Up to 1980, the variables investigated were, basically, the amount of animals existing on December 31, the output of the major primary products of livestock and the average annual unit price The survey questionnaire had its scope improved in 1981 and 1989. In addition to other improvements in the questionnaire in 2013, the output of aquaculture began to be investigated, as a result of an agreement between the IBGE and the Ministry of Fishing and Aquaculture. The production of fish, shrimp and shellfish, fingerlings, shrimp larvae and shellfish seeds, as well as the value of the production of other animals (frogs, alligators, etc.) were then introduced in the PPM.

The survey provides information on the livestock inventories existing in the municipality on the reference date of the survey, as well as on the production of animal origin and the value of the production during the reference year. The inventories include cattle, pigs and hogs, pig matrices, poultry, hens, quails, horses, buffaloes, goats and sheep. The production of animal origin, on turn, includes the output of milk, hen eggs, quail eggs, honey, greasy wool and cocoons of silkworm; the amount of milked cows and sheared sheep; and aquaculture, which includes fish farming, shrimp farming and malacoculture.

The periodicity of the survey is annual. The geographic coverage is national, with results released for Brazil, Major Regions, Federation Units, Mesoregions, Microregions and Municipalities.

Description:

Correction of data in the Municipal Livestock Survey from 2014 to 2021.

Poultry: The number of poultry in Cascavel was overestimated from 2018 onwards. A meeting with the Department of Rural Economy (Deral) of Paraná was held to fix these estimates.

Malacoculture: Production in Rio Grande do Norte had not been recorded by the IBGE in previous years, but with the collaboration of the Ministry of Fisheries and Aquaculture - MPA, this omission was corrected.
