AHDB’s Red Meat Export Conference revealed some interesting projections on worldwide red meat consumption which is set to increase over 10% between now and 2032. With meat production in the EU set to decline this year, opportunities for UK exports could open up. But production looks like it could be constrained with livestock numbers set to fall and a persistent shortfall in the number of meat industry workers.
Chen Wei, president of the China Meat Association, who presented at the event revealed that, while market access has been difficult to obtain in the past, new government policy scheduled for later this year should expedite the process of importing meat into China. We’re waiting for slides and documents from the conference to be released, which we’ll post on the Members’ Portal as soon as we get them. In the mean time Farmer’s Weekly has a round-up.
