Delhi, India, 12/04/2009 – Beef is one of the important sources of protein. With the growth in world economy, the beef consumption has seen a significant rise in past and hence it is now the third most preferred source of protein in meat consumption. World beef production and consumption is growing steadily and is expected to grow further. As the income level of the consumers has increased over the years, the food consumption pattern is seeing a shift to premium food products (which includes beef) which offer more nutrition.

Due to this shift in consumption pattern, the global beef trade has become more significant and is showing an increasing trend. The report analyses the global beef industry on different parameters like production, consumption and trade. It also discusses the countries which have significant contribution in global beef industry. Some of the countries have clear dominance in beef industry while others are solely dependent on these countries. The report analyses these countries and the key features which strengthen the presence of these countries in the market.

The other aspect that the report covers is the interesting facts about the industry in terms of the opportunities available in the markets. With the emerging markets growing at a faster rate, the consumption pattern has seen a significant shift in food items.

The beef consumption in Australia is very less and most of the beef is produced for export purpose, hence making it a strong market for beef industry.
