Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for horse, donkey and mule meat in Morocco contracted from 2 225 t in 2018 to 1 716 t in 2023, a decline of 22.9%. This downward trend was primarily driven by structural challenges in the red meat sector, notably severe drought conditions and climate change impacts reported in 2020, which reduced herd sizes and constrained production. Concurrently, longstanding consumer reluctance toward equine meat limited demand, with consumption remaining marginal and concentrated among niche segments such as foreigners and athletes.

Despite the overall contraction, the market saw the emergence of new product segments, including ready-to-eat meals containing horse meat, supported by innovation investments and backing from the Mohammed VI Investment Fund. The equine sector also received institutional support from the Royal Society for the Encouragement of the Horse (Sorec) and events like the El Jadida Horse Show, which promoted breed valuation and diversified uses toward equestrian tourism, though these initiatives did not reverse the decline in meat production volume.
