Sažetak
Livestock production, as one of the most important branches of agricultural production, takes place on about 30 % of the total land area, provides 13% of the food needs of the world's population, and consumes about half of the world's grain production. Estimates of population and income growth, as well as changes in lifestyle habits, suggest an increase in demand for animal products. According to Eurostat, in 2020 in the European Union (EU), agricultural production takes place on about 38 % of the total land area, and there are more than 9,1 million farms, 24.5 % of which are devoted exclusively to livestock production. Pig farming dominates EU livestock production, followed by cattle, sheep and goat farming. In the period from 2015 to 2021, the pig, cattle, sheep and goat population has decreased, which also led to a decrease in meat production. Pork production showed a slight increase from 2012 to 2021. In 2021, most pork was produced in Spain (22.1 %) and Germany (21.2 %), and total pork production accounted for 53 % of total meat production. The main producers of poultry meat in 2021 are Poland (19.2 %), France (12.5 %), Spain (12.3 %), and Germany (12 %). France (20.9 %), Germany (15.8 %), and Italy (11 %) lead in beef production, which accounted for 15.5 % of EU meat production in 2021. The EU produces the least amount of sheep and goat meat, about 1%, and the main producers are Spain (28 %) for sheep meat and Greece (39.7 %) for goat meat. Base price indices for the period 2015-2021 (2015=100) indicate an increase in prices for animal products. The value of animal production in the period 2012-2021 has increased. In the forecast for agricultural production in the period 2021 to 2031, European Commission (EC) expects a decrease in meat consumption per capita, a decrease in production and export of live animals in cattle and pig farming. The change in consumer preferences will lead to an increase in demand for poultry, sheep, and goat meat and a decrease in demand for pork and beef.
