Annual Statistics for Beef and Veal 2018
This publication is the annual statistics report for the Danish Cattle and Beef Sector. The publication includes tables and figures on market structure, cattle herds, slaughterings, beef and veal production, prices and international trade – both for Denmark and the EU-28 countries.
The sources of information are cited below each table and figure. For Denmark, the primary sources of information are Statistics Denmark and the Danish Agriculture & Food Council. For EU countries, the data and information are mainly from EUROSTAT and the EU Commission. Throughout the report, numbers have been rounded according to the usual code of conduct, which may cause small differentiations of the total sums.
The report has previously included the Danish Balance of Supply on Beef and Veal and therethrough shown the consumption of beef and veal per capita. The total consumption was calculated as national gross production, plus imports, minus exports and adjusted for stock changes. Thus, the Balance of Supply showed the total amount of beef and veal meat available for consumption to the whole population. The consumption per capita was then derived by dividing total consumption with the number of inhabitants. However, the calculation of consumption was based in carcass weight, i.e. including the weight of bones and non-edible by-products. The actual consumption was naturally lower, as there would be loss of weight in terms of bones and disposables. In addition, the calculation did not account for potential food waste. Due to these reasons, the annual statistics report will not include the Balance of Supply on Beef and Veal as of this publication. Statistics Denmark also ceased to calculate the Balance of Supply on Beef and Veal in 2012.
Going forward, enquiries on Danes’ consumption of food and drinks, including beef and veal, will be referred to the Danish National Survey of Dietary Habits conducted by DTU’s National Food Institute. The study is based on a representative sample of the population. The latest study took place in 2011-2013, where the average consumption of meat per capita was estimated to 51.8 kg. per person (including meat from pig, beef, veal, lamb, game and poultry). The next study is scheduled for 2019-2021.
The annual statistic is collected, collated and edited by the Danish Agriculture & Food Council on behalf of the Danish Livestock and Meat Board – trade organization for the beef and veal sector.
