Earlier Report Observations

Camel meat production in Eastern Africa saw a significant increase in 2019, reaching 189.3 thousand tons, but then entered a period of decline over the next three years, falling to 153.2 thousand tons by 2021.

The downward trend continued into 2022 with output dropping to 137.1 thousand tons, a year when regional trade dynamics involving major exporters like Pakistan and Australia influenced market conditions. Production rebounded strongly in 2023, surging by nearly 25% to 170.9 thousand tons. This recovery was supported by a sharp rise in global camel meat prices, which made production more attractive, and by investments in cold storage infrastructure that enhanced distribution efficiency for fresh and frozen meat.

Moving into 2024, the market environment has been shaped by further advancements in logistics, such as the expansion of IoT-enabled cold storage networks, and a growing emphasis on halal certification and quality standards to meet international trade requirements and evolving consumer preferences for traceable and nutritious meat products.
