In 2023, the global distribution of beef and veal saw significant production in the United States, China, and Brazil, which led in volume with slight variations year-over-year. The United States showed modest growth, while China's demand surged by over 7%. Brazil experienced low growth, highlighting a trend of increasing beef consumption in Asia. Conversely, Russia and Ukraine faced declines in production.
Future trends to watch include China's continued strong growth in beef consumption, impacting global supply chains, and the noticeable increase in demand from emerging markets like Vietnam, Malaysia, and Saudi Arabia. Environmental sustainability and alternative protein sources will play a role in shaping future production and distribution strategies.
