In 2023, China's dominance in global indigenous donkey meat production is evident, holding a substantial share of 82.54%. Despite its leading position, China's production shows a moderate growth trend with a year-on-year increase of 2.35%. In contrast, Niger, while much smaller in scale at 9.6%, experiences a slightly higher growth rate of 2.59%. Other countries like Mali and Mauritania hold minor shares with gradual growth, while Burkina Faso observed a significant rise of 6.57%. Argentina and Senegal remain stable without noticeable growth. Lesotho, although negligible in scale, grows at 5.01% annually.
Looking ahead, China's production dominance is expected to persist, driven by consistent growth. As demand for diverse protein sources increases, Niger and Mali might witness gradual gains. Tracking economic and dietary trends will provide insights into shifts in production shares and growth opportunities in smaller markets.
