The global meat market has experienced significant fluctuations over the past year, marked by a 3.3% increase in meat prices within the European Union, notably with pork prices leading the surge. Concurrently, Australia has seen a 58% boost in beef exports to the United States, attributed to a decrease in US domestic production. In contrast, São Paulo reported a near 10% drop in cattle prices, impacting local supply chains, whereas Uruguay experienced a 17% decline in poultry slaughter but an uptick in cattle slaughter during the first quarter. Additionally, Bolivia celebrated a milestone, reaching USD 200 million in beef exports, thanks to concerted efforts in health measures and disease prevention. These developments underscore the complex and evolving dynamics of the global meat market, driven by shifts in production, export demands, and stringent health standards.
