Written by  Apr 29, 2024

According to a recent survey conducted by the magazine Ja Trgovac and the agency Hendal in March, the consumption of meat, meat products, and cured meats among Croatian citizens has been analyzed, shedding light on some interesting trends.

The survey indicates that 25 percent of Croatian citizens consume meat daily, with chicken being the most popular choice. This marks a five percent increase compared to the findings from 2022. Additionally, the majority of respondents, totaling 64 percent, reported consuming meat several times a week, reflecting a slight decrease from previous years.

On the other hand, six percent of respondents stated that they eat meat several times a month, while two percent admitted to rarely consuming meat. Surprisingly, three percent of citizens mentioned that they do not eat meat at all.

When it comes to preferences, chicken remains the top choice for meat consumption, with 53 percent of citizens favoring it. However, pork follows closely behind with a 36 percent share. Other types of meat, such as veal, turkey, and lamb, were found to be less popular among respondents.

Interestingly, despite chicken and pork being the most commonly consumed meats, veal and lamb are preferred by nearly a third of citizens, indicating a desire for more premium options despite their lower consumption rates.

Moving on to cured meats and meat products, bacon emerged as the most popular choice, with 39 percent of citizens preferring it. Sausages, on the other hand, saw a decline in popularity, with only 19 percent of citizens consuming them regularly.

Overall, the survey provides valuable insights into the meat consumption habits of Croatian citizens, highlighting the popularity of chicken and pork while also revealing preferences for more premium meat options and cured meats.

The survey, conducted on a nationally representative sample of citizens aged 16 and above, offers a comprehensive look at meat consumption trends in Croatia, providing valuable data for policymakers and stakeholders in the food industry.
