The beef and veal meat weights forecast for China indicates a steady increase from 2024 to 2028. Starting in 2024 at 149.9 thousand metric tons and rising incrementally each year to reach 152.7 thousand metric tons by 2028. The consistent rise reflects a stable growth trajectory with an annual growth rate slightly below 0.5% average over this period. The year-on-year increase remains modest, suggesting continued but moderated demand.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts from economic shifts or policy changes in China's agricultural sector.
Climate change and its effects on agriculture, possibly affecting production capabilities.
Changes in consumer preferences or dietary shifts impacting demand.
Trade agreements that may influence meat import strategies.
