18 June 2026 · FAO
FAO’s June Food Outlook projected global meat production of 391.3 million tonnes in 2026, up 1.0%. Poultry output was forecast to increase 2.5%, while bovine production was expected to decline. The broader food outlook remained relatively favourable, but FAO highlighted risks from weather, energy and fertilizer markets, geopolitical tensions and trade-policy uncertainty. These figures are forecasts from the June release, rather than final annual results.
