Meat Industry

The meat industry refers to the sector of the economy involved in the production, processing, and distribution of meat products derived from animals. This industry encompasses a wide range of activities, including the raising of livestock, such as cattle, pigs, sheep, and poultry; the processing of these animals into various meat products; and the packaging and transportation of these products to consumers, retailers, and food service providers. The meat industry plays a significant role in global food supply, employment, and economic activity, but it is also subject to scrutiny regarding animal welfare, environmental impact, health concerns, and sustainability practices. The meat industry includes various stakeholders, such as farmers, processors, distributors, and retailers, and it often intersects with food safety regulations and trade policies.
