In 2023, the value was also reported at 167.01 thousand metric tons, indicating no change year-on-year as we transition into 2024. This lack of fluctuation in slaughtering rates results in a 0% cumulative average growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period, reflecting stagnation in production volumes.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential shifts in meat consumption patterns or dietary preferences, which could either increase or decrease demand.
- Policies impacting the cattle industry, such as environmental regulations or animal welfare considerations.
- Economic factors influencing production costs, such as feed prices and labor expenses, affecting profitability and slaughtering rates.
