Total poultry and red meat per capita consumption set new records almost every year between 1960 and 1992, chiefly due to increased poultry consumption. Red meat (mainly beef and pork) consumption peaked in 1971 and has declined since except for a small increase in 1992. However, per capita consumption of poultry nearly tripled, more than offsetting the 6-percent decline in red meat consumption. This report also contains (1) estimated prices that correspond with the three consumption measures, (2) definitions of price spreads and industry margins, and (3) costs between the farm and retail price of beef.
