Leather and leather goods are easier to export than beef, so what really matters would be total world supply and demand, not so much local per capita consumption, no?
Total red meat and poultry shows 2020 and 2019 as the 2 highest estimates though and the rest of the data shows a pretty clear trend line going upwards.
I'm guessing it has more to do with doctor recommendations to limit red meat for health concerns and so people are moving to other meats like poultry.
So beef consumption is up slightly since 2015, but is still far below its peak in 1976
