In 2023, the Belize Livestock Producers’ Association recorded a total of 870 registered members. The graph above illustrates the trend of registered members from 2020 to 2023 by year.

A detailed analysis indicates that the overall membership did not experience an increase in 2023. This observation is attributed to the fact that two hundred and sixty-nine (269) members had applied for a membership period exceeding one year and, therefore, did not renew in 2023.

The graph provided depicts the new memberships and renewals throughout the entirety of 2023. One particularly noteworthy observation is the substantial surge in membership, which primarily manifested in February. During this month, there were a total of 233 new memberships and 170 renewals, indicating a significant influx of individuals joining or continuing their association with the organization. This spike in February played a pivotal role in driving the overall growth of the association’s membership throughout the entirety of 2023.
