| This paper analyses meat consumption trends in South Africa. Despite the fact that aggregate per capita meat consumption remained relatively constant during the last 34 years, significant changes were observed in the per capita consumption among different meat categories.

From the analysis it is apparent that non-economic factors play a greater role in determining meat consumption in South Africa. |
