Chinese people need to eat less red meat, a leading Chinese government health agency has recommended in a landmark review of the country’s eating habits.
Russia and Ukraine have experienced an unprecedented fall in meat consumption over the past two years, official statistics have revealed. Demand for meat has also fluctuated in neighbouring countries.
How to remain competitive in the face of falling meat consumption is the main challenge facing the meat and livestock industry, Pekka Pesonen, secretary general of EU farmers’ organisation Copa-Cogeca, told GlobalMeatNews.
Global meat consumption has recorded a year-on-year increase when compared to figures from 2014, according to data from London-based market intelligence firm Euromonitor International.
