OREANDA-NEWS Russians increased their meat consumption at a record pace last year. This is reported by RIA Novosti with reference to statistical data.
The consumption of meat and meat products in the country in 2025 exceeded the mark of 100 kilograms on average per person per year, the publication says. This figure reached 100.7 kilograms, which became a new historical maximum. A year earlier, the indicator was at the level of 99.9 kilograms.
Citizens, in particular, began to eat more poultry meat: 26.4 kilograms in 2025 against 25.3 kilograms in 2024. For beef and veal, the figures remained almost unchanged: 9.3 kilograms against 9.4 a year earlier.
