Meat consumption in the EU decreases dramatically

The EU Commission expects meat consumption to fall over the next decade, and while it continues to rise worldwide, demand is declining in the EU. The consumption of beef, chicken, pork and other meat is expected to fall by around 3.6 per cent to 36.6 million tonnes by 2032, compared to the average for the years 2020 to 2022. For per capita consumption, this means a decrease of 1.5kg to about 66kg per year, according to the EU Commission.
