Red meat consumption dropped in Turkey after recent rise in meat prices, a vocational federation said on Tuesday.

The chairman of the Turkish Butchers' Federation said that red meat consumption per person p.a. dropped below 12 kilograms in Turkey due to the recent rise in meat prices. "This figure reaches 62 kilograms including pork in European Union (EU) countries," chairman Fazli Yalcindag told AA correspondent.

Meat production has dropped in Turkey due to decline in sheep and cattle numbers, which has resulted in rise in meat prices. "White meat consumption in Europe is lower than red meat consumption, on the contrary to Turkey," Yalcindag said. Yalcindag said meat production in Turkey was down 14.5 percent year-on-year in 2009 according to figures of the statistical board, TurkStat. Meat production would regress 20-25 percent in 2010, Yalcindag forecast.

"A 20 percent decline means that consumption per person p.a. is below 10 kilograms, which also means that daily meat consumption per person was down to 27 grams from 32.8 grams," Yalcindag said. The daily meat a person has to consume for a healthy nutrition is at least 100 grams.
