Overview
As COVID-19 continues to significantly disrupt global commodity markets into 2021, the pressure on meat markets also increases through the rise of the African Swine Fever and highly pathogenic Avian Flu.
Despite the serious outlook, the global meat market is valued at US$322,800 million in 2018 and will reach US$408,200 million by the end of 2025, growing at a CAGR of 3.4% during 2019-2025 (MarketWatch). The Southeast Asia meat product market is also forecasted to reach US$117,259 million by 2026, up from US$82,182 million in 2019 (ResearchDive). The rising popularity of ready-to-eat and frozen meat products, and strong backing from governments to help businesses stay sustainable amid these difficult times are some of the key growth contributors.
Join us on 13 – 14 April for a two-day expert sharing session on current trends and challenges facing the industry, and gain key insights as well as smart strategies to cope with the challenges ahead.
