Meat consumption in France has evolved between 1970 and 2022.
The per capita consumption of pig meat amounted to 32.1 kg in 2022 and the consumption of poultry meat to 27.9 kg, out of a total of 85 kilograms of meat.
Peak meat consumption per capita occurred in 1998. More broadly, the 986-2002 period is when the French consumed the most meat, with a minimum consumption, on average, of 90 kilogram per inhabitant per year. Since the beginning of the 2000s, overall meat consumption has been decreasing in French households. The French are turning more and more to poultry to the detriment of pork and beef.
