20 Countries with the Lowest Meat Consumption In The World

1. Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)

Per Capita Meat Consumption Per Year: 3.03 Kilograms 

The Democratic Republic of Congo ranks first on our list of the 20 countries with the lowest meat consumption in the world, with only 3.03 kilograms of meat consumed per capita in the country in a year. To put this number into perspective, the per capita meat consumption of Hong Kong and the United States, the two countries with the highest per capita meat consumption in the world as of 2021, stands at 146.85 kilograms and 126.83 kilograms, respectively. DRC boasts a strategic geographical location at the center of the African continent, sharing borders with nine African countries. It has the fourth-largest population in Africa and is the second-largest country on the continent after Algeria. The country is renowned for its diversity and has more than 200 ethnic groups living under its umbrella. However, DRC is also facing one of the worst humanitarian crises across the globe, with around 6.9 million people displaced throughout the country. Shortage of food supplies, failing infrastructure, and decades of conflict and insecurity are some of the primary reasons behind the country’s plight.
