China remains the dominant player in global meat import volume, accounting for the largest share, while other substantial contributors include Japan, Germany, and the United Kingdom. Notable year-on-year increases were seen in Iraq and Costa Rica, while Russia experienced a significant decline. Over the past five years, countries such as Indonesia, Iran, and Chile have shown strong compound annual growth in import volumes. Meanwhile, Vietnam has consistently registered a decline over the same period. As we step into the future, it's crucial to keep an eye on emerging markets in Africa and Asia, which could shift import dynamics significantly.
