Belgian meat

More meat is being eaten thanks to the growing world population and the rising available income. The recent global increase in meat consumption is even higher than that of fish.

The growing global demand is being offset by rising production and last year resulted in increased trade figures for every kind of meat.

In 2018, the global demand for meat was strong despite the increasing headwind in developed countries. Favourable feed prices as a result of a record cereal harvest were a boost for the producers of monogastric animals.
