Earlier Report Observations

Yemen's camel meat market volume grew steadily from 2,839 t in 2018 to 3,690 t in 2020. This expansion was partly driven by a noticeable increase in the export trade of camels to neighboring regions due to rising demand for camel meat, which encouraged production. Camel breeding remained concentrated in desert areas such as Ma'rib, Al Jawf, Al Mahrah, Hadhramaut, and Shabwah, sectors that proved relatively resilient to the wider conflict's disruptions.

Market growth continued through 2022, reaching 3,915 t, although the pace moderated in 2021. The persistent demand from export channels helped sustain production despite the deteriorating economic situation, sharp increases in meat prices, and reduced purchasing power among Yemeni consumers reported during these years. The market's ability to grow under such conditions highlights the specific role of external demand for camel meat.

In 2023, the market volume reached 3,957 t, a slight increase of just 1% over the previous year. This slowdown coincided with reported climatic shocks that targeted livestock herds, putting pressure on production. Nevertheless, the camel meat sector demonstrated relative stability, with its output still edging higher.
