    Data released a week ago by the Brazilian Association of Supermarkets (Abras) showed that with inflation increasing and the loss of purchasing power, people are now replacing beef consumption
    with cheaper animal protein.
     
    Between 2019 and 2021, before the pandemic, per capita beef consumption in Brazil fell by 9.
    2%.

    Egg consumption rose by 10.
    9% over the same period, as did pork (9.
    2%) and chicken (6.
    5%)
    .
     
    "This situation may be related to
    the spike in beef prices.
    Meat prices are generally bullish, inflation is in double digits, and consumers' real incomes are much constrained, so this alternative option
    was made.
    Abras Vice President Marcio Milan analyzed
    .
     
    Marcio Milan said that in terms of menu changes, in the two years of the pandemic, annual per capita animal protein consumption increased by about 3.
    6%, from 126.
    7 kg per capita to 131.
    1 kg, and the statistics include beef, pork, chicken, fish and eggs
    .
    "This shows that consumers have not stopped consuming protein because of the epidemic, but the consumption of meat and egg protein has increased
    .
    "
     
    Chicken as a substitute for beef became the first choice of consumers, with consumption increasing by 6.
    5%, from 42.
    8 kg in 2019 to 45.
    6 kg
    in 2021.
    Pork was also favoured, with per capita consumption jumping from 15.
    3kg to 16.
    7kg, an increase of 9.
    2%.

    Demand for fish was essentially flat, increasing from 10.
    4 kg to 10.
    5 kg
    per person.
    While these alternative meats took over the market, per capita beef consumption fell from 30.
    6 kg to 27.
    8 kg, a drop of 9.
    2%.

     
    According to a survey carried out by the Association of Supermarkets of São Paulo, meat is one of
    the items that consumers most want to buy in supermarkets during the Black Friday sale in November.
    The Rio State Supermarket Association also observed a strong momentum
    in which the purchasing power of the market is gradually recovering.
    Beef and milk are also commodities
    that consumers said they would consider purchasing first after the government bailout benefit was raised to 600 reais.
