Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh, chilled, or frozen turkey meat and offal in Eastern Africa grew from 13 067 t in 2018 to 14 142 t in 2023, with notable fluctuations. A sharp 15% increase to 14 703 t occurred in 2021, a period marked by a 17% rise in import prices for turkey meat across Africa, indicating stronger regional demand that boosted market volume.
