Pork's reign is all but over.
Poultry is expected to become the world's most consumed meat over the next 5 years, according to a report released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development last week. The world's appetite for chicken is growing faster than any other meat, while pork consumption is slowing even in its most popular markets.
"Currently, pork accounts for the greatest share in world total meat production, however, a comparatively slower growth rate through the next decade will result in it being surpassed by poultry by 2020," the report says.
The trend is expected to hold true for just about every region and country - developed or developing.
