Summary: Meat and Meat Products

World meat production is anticipated to stagnate in 2016, rising by a meagre 0.2 percent to 319.8 million tonnes. While output is expected to rise particularly in the United States, the EU, Brazil, India, Mexico, Canada and the Russian Federation, a down-turn in meat production - especially in China, but also in Australia - would weigh on the overall trend. Excluding the last two countries, aggregate meat production of the rest of the world would rise by 1.4 percent.
Global meat trade is forecast to recover in 2016, rising by 4.4 percent to 31.1 million tonnes. This would represent a return to trend, after a fall in 2015. Based on current expectations, trade in pigmeat is expected to increase by 10.8 percent, poultry meat by 4.4 percent and bovine meat by 0.3 percent, while ovine meat may decrease by 2.8 percent. Increased meat imports are expected particularly in China, but also in Japan, South Africa, Chile, the Republic of Korea, Mexico, the EU, Iraq, the Philippines, Viet Nam, the United Arab Emirates and the Russian Federation. By contrast, growth in domestic production may result in reduced imports by the United States and Canada, with Angola also anticipated to buy less. The expansion in world exports is projected to be led by Brazil and the EU, followed by the United States and Canada, with sales also rising for Belarus, Thailand, the Russian Federation, Paraguay, Mexico and Ukraine. Meanwhile, exports by Australia, China, Turkey, South Africa, New Zealand, Argentina and India are likely to be curtailed.
After remaining at a low level during the first three months of 2016, when it averaged 146 points, the FAO Meat Price Index recorded sustained growth between April and September, rising by 17.7 points, or 12.1 percent, to 163.5 points. Over the period January to September, the index gained 12.6 percent, supported by a surge in the prices of ovine meat, pigmeat and poultry meat, which, for the group, rose by 18.7 percent, and a more moderate increase of 4.3 percent for bovine meat. Limited supplies of pigmeat in the European Union and sheep meat from Oceania lent support to prices for these products, while firm international demand, in particular from Asia, underpinned poultry meat prices. Meanwhile, recovery in bovine meat production in the United States reduced the country's need for external supplies, contributing to international prices increasing less than for the other categories of meat.
