This shift is driven by consumer concerns over health and sustainability, as well as cultural influences from indigenous populations that traditionally favor a plant-based diet. Additionally, the rise of flexitarianism and the increasing availability of plant-based meat substitutes are also contributing to the changing landscape of the processed meat market in this region.
