Diplomová práce

Abstract:

The diploma thesis analyses meat consumption trends in the European Union (EU) from 2004 to 2023, with a specific focus on identifying the main factors influencing consumer choices regarding pork consumption. The theoretical part provides an overview of the EU-27 economy, its development, current structure, and the varying economic characteristics and diverse eating habits across member states. The empirical element of the study employs time series methods, descriptive statistics, trend functions and regression analysis on secondary data. The primary objective of this element is to empirically ascertain the key drivers of pork meat consumption in the EU. The results offer a deeper understanding of both past and present consumption trends and enable the formulation of possible predictions concerning the future trajectory of pork meat consumption within the EU.
