The projected figures from 2024 to 2028 indicate a steady and gradual increase in production, with an annual growth of around 0.74% year-on-year. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is expected to remain consistent at around 0.74%, signaling stable production growth.
Future Trends to Watch For:
- Potential impacts of climate change on livestock farming practices.
- Shifts in consumer preferences towards sustainable and ethically sourced meat products.
- Technological advancements in farming techniques and their influence on yield efficiency.
- Trade agreements and policies affecting beef and veal exports and domestic supply chains.
