China  –  Meal  Demand  Forecast  to  Increase  by  60%  

Over the past 15 years, meal consumption in China has had a 99% correlation with GDP per capita. Based on this correlation and OECD projections for future GDP growth in China, HighQuest projects that Chinese meal consumption will increase by 60% over the next decade (50 to 80 million MT).
