According to FAO, global meat output in 2018 is estimated at 336.4 million tonnes, up 1.2 percent from 2017, principally originated in the Unites States of America, the European Union, and the Russian Federation, but partially offset by a decline in China and stagnation in Brazil, two of the world’s largest meat producers.
Across the various meat sub-sectors, bovine meat output (refer to meat derived from ruminant mammals including cows, ox and buffalos) registered the highest expansion (+2.1 percent), followed by poultry meat (+1.3 percent), but outputs remained stable for ovine meat (meat derived from sheep and goats) (+0.6 percent) and pigmeat (+0.6 percent).
