Document summary

The rapid growth of a new affluent middle class across Asia has seen an unprecedented rise in meat consumption, leading to significant opportunities for investors.

These include threats to food safety, public health, the environment and labour rights. This report aims to help investors to understand the risks, and suggests questions that investors can use to assess the resilience of their holdings.
