Surging Demand for Biofuel Fuels South & Central America Tallow Market
The limited availability of fossil fuel-based resources, rising awareness about curbing carbon emissions, increasing need for cleaner fuel, and stringent government regulations on the desulfurization of petroleum products are expected to propel the demand for biofuel. Biofuels reduce reliance on fossil fuels and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. As the feedstock material used to produce biofuels can be regenerated more quickly than conventional fossil fuels, they are considered renewable. Tallow, produced from animal fats, is a productive and long-lasting feedstock for manufacturing biofuels such as biodiesel. Its usage in biodiesel results in lower carbon emissions compared to regular diesel. The Ministry of Energy and Mines in Brazil also incentivizes and provides special tax regimes for bioenergy projects. Such government policies and regulations boost biofuel production. Thus, rising demand and production of biofuel are expected to create huge opportunities for the South & Central America tallow market during the forecast period.
South & Central America Tallow Market Overview

Brazil is one of the largest markets for animal feed, as the country has a flourishing livestock industry. As per the report of Alltech Global, Brazil ranks third in the world with one-third of global animal feed production. High animal feed production boosts the demand for feed ingredients such as tallow. Moreover, South & Central America is one of the largest exporters of meat and dairy products globally. The rising demand for quality meat worldwide is pushing livestock farmers in the region to adopt fortified animal feed, thereby boosting the demand for tallow as it contains Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin K, Vitamin E, Vitamin B12, conjugated linoleic acid with inherent anti-inflammatory properties, and oleic acid. Thus, the growing livestock industry and strong demand for animal feed in the region drive the tallow market in South & Central America.
