Earlier Report Observations

The turkey meat and offal market in Sub-Saharan Africa experienced a contraction over the 2018-2023 period, starting at 150.9 thousand tons in 2018. A temporary recovery occurred in 2020, when the market volume increased to 149.3 thousand tons, supported by strong regional consumption patterns in key countries like Morocco, Tunisia, and Benin, alongside import price trends that stimulated market activity.

From 2021 onwards, the market resumed its downward trend, falling to 121.5 thousand tons by 2023. A 17% increase in the import price in 2021 raised the cost of bringing turkey meat into the region, contributing to reduced import volumes. During this period, the expansion of Safripol's cold storage network in South Africa enhanced distribution reliability for fresh and frozen meat products, providing infrastructural support to the supply chain.

In 2024, the import price for turkey meat stabilized, while consumption of prepared or preserved turkey products saw a slight decline of 2.7%. Underlying long-term drivers, including population growth, rising per-capita incomes in Sub-Saharan Africa, and a cultural inclination towards consuming offal as an affordable protein source, continued to shape the fundamental demand environment for poultry meat.
