Abstract: type="graphical">

The world meat industry has faced many challenges in recent years yet consumption continues to increase, particularly in emerging and developing countries. There has been substantial consumption growth in China over the past 30 years but only in the last 5 years has this had a major impact on the world meat economy. By 2013, China was easily the world's largest meat importer with increases in consumption outstripping production growth. Other issues currently facing the industry include higher production costs, competition from other proteins, consumer concerns about food safety and animal welfare, and environmental factors.
