The current global horse meat production landscape is dominated by China, Kazakhstan, and Mongolia, with China as the largest producer. Key trends over the last five years showcase Mongolia's significant growth, while negative growth is noted in Argentina, Ukraine, and Poland. Despite minor declines in major producers, Central Asian nations like Kazakhstan and Mongolia exhibit positive momentum. Notably, Chad and Hungary have marked prominent growth. Conversely, European countries such as Germany and Denmark experienced substantial declines.
Looking ahead, regional dynamics may shift as consumer preferences evolve, impacting demand. The growth potential in Central Asia and Eastern Europe remains pivotal, alongside market adaptations in response to global regulatory changes.
