In 2023, China dominated the global donkey meat production market with an 85.04% share. While China experienced a slight decline of 0.83% year-on-year, other countries like Niger (8%) and Mali (2.49%) showed positive growth. Notably, Burkina Faso's production decreased dramatically by 11.48%. Other producers, including Senegal, Mauritania, and Argentina, displayed modest gains. China's overwhelming market presence highlights its dominance, even as regional players gradually increase their contributions.
Future trends to watch include the emergence of West African countries as stronger contenders amid increasing global demand. Innovations in breeding and supply chain efficiencies may further alter production dynamics globally.
