The United States leads global beef and veal domestic consumption, followed closely by China. Significant year-on-year growth is observed in China (7.25%) and Vietnam (7.03%), while Brazil and Argentina face declines. Russia and South Africa also see reductions. Saudi Arabia and Angola show notable increases, strengthening their consumption shares. Countries such as Paraguay and Ukraine face significant consumption declines, indicative of varying regional trends.
