France and Germany

Per capita consumption of beef
and veal in Germany 1991-2022
German per capita beef and veal
consumption levels have fluctuated
somewhat in the last decade,
amounting to 9.4 kilograms in 2020.
However, compared to the 1990s, these
levels were noticeably lower. Pork
most consumed type of meat
When looking at per capita consumption
of meat products in Germany by type,
pork is the most consumed, followed by
poultry and then beef. In the country
that is also known for its many sausage
products, recorded pork consumption
levels are explainable.
Why did the beef consumption decrease

Lower meat consumption levels in

general may also be due to growing
pursuit of vegetarian or vegan lifestyles,
as well as rising awareness and
criticism of the meat processing
industry in general.

Meat consumption in France

A more recent survey from 2019 revealed that 38 percent of French people ate meat (pig,
beef etc.) three to five times a week. The frequency of poultry meat consumption was once to
twice a week for 57 percent of the people surveyed.

Peak meat consumption per capita occurred in 1998. More broadly, the 986-2002 period is
when the French consumed the most meat, with a minimum consumption, on average, of 90
kilogram per inhabitant per year. Since the beginning of the 2000s, overall meat consumption
has been decreasing in French households. The French are turning more and more to poultry
to the detriment of pork and beef.
