Meat very much in demand as FAO forecasts rise in poultry production this year
The world’s meat production is forecast to fall for the second year in a row but not because of poultry, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.

The only other meat FAO sees rising in production this year is ovine, from 16 million tonnes in 2019 to 16.2 million tonnes this year.
