Mexico's red meat consumption to decline in 2009
Red meat consumption in Mexico is forecast to decline in 2009 as middle and lower income consumers are expected to replace consumption of red meat for cheaper processed meat and other protein sources.
Despite the reduction in consumption, this year's red meat consumption is not expected to decline dramatically. However, 2009 red meat imports from the US are forecast to decline in large part to the fall in the value of Mexican peso against the US dollar.
