The beef industry is experiencing growth largely due to the increasing health awareness among consumers and a heightened demand for protein from animal sources. As dietary preferences evolve, there's a noticeable shift towards food products that are low in fat and calories, but high in protein. Additionally, the expanded utilization of beef in the food sector is propelling market expansion.
