Besides dairy, which type of meat is predominantly produced in the UK?

1. Seafood

2. Red meat from pigs and cattle

3. Exotic meats

4. Game meats

The correct answer is: Red meat from pigs and cattle

The predominant type of meat produced in the UK, aside from dairy, is red meat from pigs and cattle. The UK has a long-standing tradition of raising cattle for beef, as well as pigs for pork, and these industries are integral to its agricultural economy. The large-scale production of beef and pork is supported by the country's favorable climate and pastureland, which allow for the breeding and raising of livestock. This meat is not only popular among consumers within the UK but is also a significant export product. In contrast, while seafood is also produced, it does not match the volume of red meat production related to cattle and pigs. Exotic meats and game meats are produced but they represent much smaller markets with limited consumer bases compared to the mainstream red meat industry. Thus, the correct choice emphasizes the dominance of pig and cattle farming in the UK's meat production landscape.
