Meat production in October 2024 was 6,334 tonnes, 2% less than in October 2023. Pork production was 3% less than in October last year while poultry production 14% more and beef production 9% more.
Sheep slaughtering came to an end in October with total production 5% less than in 2023, or 7,964 tonnes, due to both fewer slaugthering animals and less carcass weight. Sheep production has only once been less in the last 40 years, in 1997, but the difference is only 61 tonnes.
