Abstract: When we talk about the con­sump­tion of a food, we must take into account its impor­tance for a bal­anced human diet, its pro­duc­tion capac­i­ty, con­sumer pref­er­ences for that food and, last but not least, retail prices. Tak­ing into account the cur­rent chal­lenges regard­ing the pro­vi­sion of food for the entire pop­u­la­tion of the globe and its access to healthy food, the peri­od­ic analy­sis of these indi­ca­tors is nec­es­sary to be able to devel­op poli­cies and strate­gies at the glob­al, region­al and/or the nation­al lev­el. The pur­pose of the paper is to ana­lyze meat con­sump­tion in Roma­nia in the peri­od 2010–2020, start­ing from the data pro­vid­ed by the Nation­al Insti­tute of Sta­tis­tics, in order to esti­mate the trend in a future time hori­zon.
