world’s largest meat consuming
region, the U. S. will continue to
account for a fifth of all the
world’s meat. U.S. meat con
sumption is expected to rise 2
percent annually during 1970-85
to 31 millions tons. Beef, leading
the way, will grow by an
estimated 2.3 percent a year to
reach 15 million tons in 1985. And,
on a per capita basis, the U.S. will
remain among the world’s
biggest meat eaters—Australia,
New Zealand and Argentina—
with a per capita consumption of
287 pounds a year.
U.S. meat production will about
keep up with consumption, but
net imports will climb to a million
tons by 1985—up 25 percent from
1970.
The European Community
(EC-9), largest meat consuming
area after the US., will consume
nearly a sixth of the world’s meat
in 1985, about the same as in 1970.
Consumption in the original EC-6
is projected to rise by 2.8 percent
and in the three new member
countries, by 1.8 percent an
nually. Meat production in the
original EC-6 has been ex
panding, though not quite as fast
as the demand. The outlook,
however, is for the production
consumption gap to narrow.
Meat exports by Denmark and
Ireland to the rest of the EC will
make substantial gains. With
climbing meat production, the
United Kingdom will rely less on
imports and its needs will
probably be taken care of by the
other EC members. The EC-9,
overall, will reduce its depen
dence on the rest of the world for
meat in general and for beef in
particular.
Elsewhere in West Europe the
growth in meat use will outstrip

Lancaster Farming, Saturday, December 8,1973 —
the advances in output. Imports
are expected to more than double
by 1985 to a half million tons.
East Europe is likely to remain
a net meat exporter in the next 12
years. Net exports of beef,
estimated at .2 million tons in
1985, will reinforce a similar
quantity of net exports of other
meats.
In Japan the outlook holds
dramatic leaps in meat usage.
Total consumption is seen ex
panding by 7.4 percent a' year,
and by 1985 will be nearly triple
the level of 15 years earlier. On a
per capita basis, meat use is
placed at 92 pounds in 1985,
compared with 37 pounds in 1970.
While production of pork and
poultry will swell in line with
demand, beef and mutton will
not. Meat imports will likely
triple during 1970-85 to .7 million
tons.
The Soviet Union and the
People’s Republic of China—with
10 and 15 percent, respectively, of
1985 world meat consumption
are expected to continue to
pursue their policies of self
sufficiency. Meat production in
the Soviet Union is diversified,
whereas the People’s Republic
concentrates on pork and poultry.
Argentine picture murky.
.Turning to the major meat ex
porters, Argentina is likely to
show only modest growth in beef
exports to 1985. The U.S., for one,
is an expanding market for
Argentine canned and cooked
frozen beef. But the demand
picture is not especially
promising in Argentina’s chief
market—the EC-9—where a
variable levy system impedes
meat imports.
In Oceania, a strong upsurge is
on the horizon for meat
production, mainly beef.
Australia has been developing
water supplies in its dry hin
terland, and cattle ranching is
oeing intensified. Australia’s per
capita meat consumption will
probably remain stable at its
present world-record level. Thus,
the anticipated production in
creases will pave the way for
large additional exports by 1985,
possibly three times more than is
being shipped at present
Demand for high-protein feeds
will be lifted by further growth in
demand for livestock products.
With high grain prices in the EC,
a major feed user, feed
manufacturers there will be
encouraged to use grain sub
stitutes. This in turn will spur
usage of protein supplements.
Fishmeal production will
probably continue to expand but
at a rate considerably slower
than the increase m demand for
protein meals. Soybean exports
will benefit.
Soybeans. The foreign import -
demand for high protein feeds
has been building at the
equivalent rate of about 65
million bushels of soybeans a
year—a trend that will carry over
into the 1980’s, but with added
strength by imports of the
U S.S.R. and the People’s
Republic of China. Not all the
growth in soybean demand will
be supplied by U.S. exports, since
other protein meal suppliers—
such as Brazil—are projected to
increase their exports. Probably
most of the larger meal demand
will be exported in the form of
beans.
Petroproteins will be available,
although their use will be limited
due to high price. The situation
could be drastically altered,
however, in the event of a
technological break-through or
relative price stability m crude
petroleum prices.
Production of high protein
(high lysine)) grains will con
tinue to be limited because
traditional varieties will main
tain their yield advantage
Synthetic amino acids, especially
methiomne, will be produced and
available at such a price that it
will be economical to sup
plement—but probably not
replace—traditional protein
sources.
The world dairy situation
features ample supplies to 1985,
primarily due to substantial
production increases in the EC-9
and further decline in demand for
milkfat m Europe. The accession
of the three new members
aggravates both the supply and
demand situation in the EC-9
since price hikes at all levels
within the three sitmulate
production and retard con
sumption. In addition, milk
output is being forced up by EC
efforts to spur beef production,
inasmuch as much of the beef
comes from dairy cattle The
dairy-beef linkage will weaken by
1985, yet the strong demand for
beef and further growth in milk
yields may lead to chrome milk
surpluses An export availability
of over 2 million tons of milk
equivalent is projected for the
EC-9 in 1985.
New Zealand will continue as
the leading exporter of butter,
even though exports will dip due
to the loss of the U K market
Larger cheese shipments will
partially off-set the drop in butter
trade.
Australia withdraws. In
general the foreign market for
butter will shrink m the 1980’s,
and this will encourage a shift out
of dairy production in Western
Europe and Australia Australia,
now an important butter ex
porter, will probably withdraw
from the export market but will
continue to export some cheese
The Soviet Union will remain a
significant exporter of dairy
products Both cow numbers and
milk yields will increase, but the
rate will trail that of the 1960’s
In the US, production and
consumption of dairy products
will trend up. Supply and
demand, however, will be
essentially in balance
