In all, the Union imported 264,300 tonnes of mainly boneless cuts with Brazil keeping its lead position with 60 per cent of the total. Second largest supplier was Argentina with a 23 per cent share.

The latest Meat Demand Trends also contains features and figures on retail meat and producer prices, ethical consumerism in the UK and expenditure and meat consumption.
