World meat production increased 45% in the last 20 years

The FAO has published the World Food and Agriculture – Statistical Yearbook 2022.

World meat production reached 337 million tons in 2020, up 45%, or 104 million tons compared with 2000.

Pig meat represented 33% of the total in 2020, compared to 39% in 2000. African swine fever started affecting Asian countries in late 2018 and continued in 2019 and 2020. It resulted in an 11 million tons decrease in world pig meat production between 2018 and 2019, with China being hardest hit, and kept constraining production in 2020. Globally 110 million tons of pig meat were produced in 2020.
