Hungarians eat less meat

The world’s meat consumption reached 320 million tons in 2018, which is an impressive amount. However, signs of a decrease in meat consumption can also be observed in richer countries, reports the Agricultural Sector.

In Hungary, for example, per capita meat consumption peaked in the 1980s, with a consumption of about 80 kilograms, but by 2010 this had already decreased to 55-60 kilograms. Although this ratio has been increased through campaigns and efforts in the last decade, according to the latest data, meat consumption in Hungary continues to show a downward trend.
