As of 2023, China dominates global donkey meat production with 128.93 thousand metric tons, significantly outpacing other countries. Notable producers include Niger (12.12), Mali (3.78), Senegal (3.4), and Mauritania (2.7). Over the past year, Niger, Mali, and Argentina experienced modest production increases, with Niger showing a 2.52% rise. Senegal and Mauritania had slight gains, while Burkina Faso's production plunged by 11.48%. China's production saw a minor decline of 0.83%, suggesting market saturation or redirected agricultural focus.
Future trends to watch include potential growth in Western Africa due to increased production in Niger and Mali. Sustainable production practices and regulatory changes in China could impact global supply and demand dynamics. Additionally, increasing attention on animal welfare may influence future market conditions.
