Increase in Meat Consumption in Mexico Driven by Economic Improvement

The Mexican Meat Council (ComeCarne) has reported a significant increase in meat consumption in the country. From January to October 2024, 8.8 million tons were consumed, representing a 4.5% growth in real terms compared to the same period the previous year. This increase is attributed to the improved economic conditions of Mexican families, driven by government support, remittances, minimum wage increases, and lower inflation. By the end of 2024, total consumption is expected to reach approximately 10.7 million tons, consolidating a positive trend in the demand for meat proteins in the country.
