Expert Predicts Increased Per Capita Meat Consumption
Although meat production may
reach an all-time high m 1973, it
still will not be enough to meet
the expanding appetite of
Americans for meat, Clifton B.
Cox, Chairman of the Board of
Directors of the American Meat
Institute, said in a year-end
statement.
Cox, who is President of Ar
mour Food Company, Phoenix,
Ariz., estimated that Americans
will consume 192 pounds of red
meats per capita in 1973. This will
be slightly above the previous
high established in 1971.
He called for a specific national
policy to assure Americans a
continuing abundant supply of
meat. He said the government
should- (1) release its large
stocks of feed grains; (2) en
courage adequate feed
production; (3) permit the use of
set-aside agricultural acres for

Cox predicted that demand for
meat, stimulated by expanding
employment and rising total
consumer income, would con
tinue to be high in 1973. “Our
major problem is not finding a
customer for meat but rather,
finding enough meat to fill the
demand,” he said.

Cox estimated that more than
38 billion pounds of red meats will
be produced in 1973. Beef con
sumption should increase two
and one-half pounds to a record
118 pounds per person in 1973.
Projected increases in pork
supplies during the last half of
1973 should bring per capita pork
consumption to 69 pounds, up one
and one-half pounds over 1972.
While beef production rose in
1972, the increase was not as

growers held back cows and
heifers to expand breeding herds
and thus increase future beef
supplies, he said.
In 1972, total meat production
was 36.9 billion pounds, down 857

categories, this was; beef, 22.3
