This overview shows the total amount (in tons) of animals used for meat consumption in Europe. This amount is based on the weight of approved meat, meaning more animals were slaughtered than used eventually. This data was retrieved from the EU Open Data Portal. This information is indicative though not completely representative as not all European countries were included due to a lack of data for some (due to confidentiality). These countries were left out in all visualizations, meaning the total weight is higher and the proportions may differ slightly.
The countries that were excluded are: the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Norway, and Liechtenstein.
