Because most areas don't grow veg commercially. Round here is/was primarily a dairying area. There's one market garden within striking distance of us.

On average I think I only eat 200 - 300g of meat a week. I could eat more but I don't tend to have as much as most people.
So 5kg would last about five months - I know people who buy that amount in bulk without too much trouble, and they, as a household, eat in excess of that.
