EU Beef Output Set to Fall Sharply by 2035
EU red meat production is forecast to decline significantly over the next decade, according to new outlook data published by AHDB.
The European Commission projects a 9.2% fall in EU beef production by 2035, equivalent to a reduction of around 615,000 tonnes. The decline is being driven primarily by a shrinking cow herd, with suckler cow numbers expected to drop by 8.5%.
The figures underline a long-term structural contraction in European beef supply rather than a short-term cyclical adjustment.
