Norway beef production in decline. Norway is producing more chickens than cattle for the first time, with beef production reportedly four percent lower this year than in 2011. Leader of interest organisation Norsk Bonde-og Småbrukarlag, Merete Furuberg, told Nationen that consumers are able to get all the chicken they need from Norwegian producers, but only enough beef for five out of six meals. At the same time, she believes that more advertising needs to be done for different meat and farmers should fight for the image of red meat as being unhealthier than white.
