Earlier Report Observations
Malaysia's production of fresh, chilled or frozen horse, donkey and mule meat showed considerable variation between 2018 and 2023. Output dropped sharply by 26% to 144 tons in 2019, then recovered by 31% to 189 tons the following year. The market volume then entered a phase of relative stability, hovering near 190 tons through 2021 and 2022.
The slight increase to 191 tons in 2021 occurred alongside specific market developments. Imported horse meat from the European Union was not available in the market due to a lack of the required technical and halal approval from JAKIM, reinforcing the role of domestic production. Furthermore, the emergence of horse meat listings on major local e-commerce platforms like Lazada and Mudah.my marked the growth of a digital sales segment, potentially improving product accessibility for consumers.
By 2023, production reached 201 tons, surpassing the 2018 level. The period concluded with the market having recovered from its low point, shaped by domestic supply conditions and the gradual digitization of retail.
