The Korea Rural Economic Institute and the Korea Agricultural Research Institute predict a mixed outlook for livestock in 2024. A decrease in the number of Korean cattle, pigs, laying hens, and dairy cows is expected due to factors such as declining prices and increased slaughter. However, increases are expected in beef production by 8.3%, broiler chickens by 2.2%, and ducks by 5.2%. Despite the decrease in dairy cows, crude oil production is predicted to rise slightly. Import growth of dairy products is also expected to continue due to tariff reductions and diversification of consumer preferences.

This is a 4.6% decrease from last year (3.502 million animals).

As the number of cows slaughtered increases, production increases and prices are expected to ...
