- Between 2021 and 2032, beef and poultry production are expected to grow by 0.5% and 17.1% respectively, with volumes reaching 12.8 and 23.6 Mt.
- Compared to other proteins, pork will grow at a much higher rate than beef, although it will be surpassed by the growth of poultry production.
- From 2023 onwards, pork production is expected to exceed beef production, widening the gap between the two proteins year after year. In 2032, 1.25 Mt more pork is expected to be produced than beef.
