ARBOLEDA-MONTOYA, Luz M e RESTREPO-BETANCUR, L Fernando. Availability of Beef and Pork in South American Countries, in the Last Six Decades. Perspect Nut Hum [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.207-216. Epub 02-Dez-2019. ISSN 0124-4108. https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.penh.v21n2a06.
Background:
The production and availability of beef and pork meat in the countries of South America is of vital inter est in the field of human nutrition because availability is a primary factor in the choice and consumption of this food among the population.
Objective:
To carry out a comparative analysis related to the supply of beef and pork in South American countries in the last six decades, from 1961 through 2019.
Materials and Methods:
For the analysis of the information, the general linear model was used using the multivariate variance technique (MANOVA) with canonical contrast of orthogonal type, cluster analysis and exploratory descriptive statistics of a one-dimensional type.
Results:
Argentina presented a highly significant difference in the availability of beef for its population, compared to other coun tries in South America (p <0.0001). Paraguay is the country with the highest availability of pork. The country with the least sources of beef and pork is Peru.
Conclusions:
There is a great divergence among countries of South America in the amount of available meat supply from beef and pork.
