USDA Projects Rising Meat Consumption in Mexico by 2033

According to a report by the USDA, meat consumption in Mexico is forecasted to escalate over the next decade, driven predominantly by an upswing in poultry consumption. The USDA Agricultural Projections to 2033 anticipate the total per capita consumption of poultry, pork, and beef in Mexico to hit 82.5 kilograms by 2033. This figure is approximately two-thirds of the expected total meat consumption per capita in the U.S., pegged at 124.0 kilograms.

Significantly, poultry consumption in Mexico is projected to climb from 38.3 kilograms per capita in 2023 to 43.8 kilograms by 2033. Meanwhile, pork consumption is expected to rise from 20.2 kilograms to 22.6 kilograms per capita, with beef seeing a modest increase from 15.7 kilograms to 16.0 kilograms per capita.

Economic Impact and Trade Dynamics

The economic intricacies shaping this trend are deeply rooted in trade agreements, most notably the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) and its successor, the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). These agreements have bolstered Mexico's capacity to import both meat and the necessary feedstuffs from the U.S. and Canada, catalyzing a surge in domestic meat production. Since NAFTA's implementation in 1994, Mexico's corn imports have more than quadrupled, soybean imports have surged by 190 percent, and soybean meal imports have soared by 471 percent. These imports play a crucial role in supporting Mexico's extensive meat production, which has seen substantial growth between 1993 and 2023: 183 percent for chicken, 80 percent for pork, and 26 percent for beef.

Trade Figures and Future Projections

According to data from the IndexBox platform, Mexico's meat and poultry export value stood at $2.55 billion in 2023, further supported by meat imports valued at $5.109 billion. Moving forward, Mexico's imports of chicken and pork are projected to expand by 31 percent and 17 percent respectively over the next decade, while beef imports are anticipated to decrease by 5 percent. Concurrently, Mexico is expected to maintain significant imports of feedstuff components, such as corn, soybeans, and soybean meal, to sustain its livestock production.

In terms of production projections between 2023 and 2033, Mexico is expected to achieve increases of 22 percent for chicken, 24 percent for pork, and 25 percent for beef. These projections speak to a broader narrative of rising consumption patterns and evolving trade dynamics, underscoring Mexico's burgeoning role in the global meat market.
