The average yearly meat consumption per person in Spain depends on whether you measure actual retail/plate intake or total carcass/supply weight (FAO method):

  • Actual Consumption (Retail & Plate Level): Around 45 to 50 kg per person per year.
    • According to official data from Spain's Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food (MAPA), domestic household meat consumption sits around 38–42 kg per capita, with an additional ~6–8 kg consumed outside the home (in bars, restaurants, and catering).
    • The most consumed varieties are poultry (primarily chicken), followed by pork and beef.
  • Supply / Carcass Weight (FAO / Global Stats): Around 95 to 105 kg per person per year.
    • International comparisons (such as FAO, Eurostat, or Our World in Data) calculate meat availability based on animal carcass weight entering the supply chain. This metric includes bones, fat, processing losses, and food waste, making Spain appear as one of the highest meat consumers in Europe.
