Egypt Meat Market Trends & Drivers:

Egypt meat market is currently driven by its rapidly growing population and increasing urbanization. With over 110 million people, especially in urban centers like Cairo and Alexandria, there’s a strong demand for affordable and convenient protein sources. Urban lifestyles are shifting dietary habits towards increased meat consumption, particularly in accessible forms like branded and value-added meat products. This evolving demand pushes suppliers to offer more variety and quality, including hygienically processed and packaged options that appeal to a rising middle class focused on food safety and convenience.

Another key driver is the Egyptian government's active role in stabilizing meat supply and prices through multiple measures. These include importing large numbers of livestock such as cattle, buffalo, sheep, and goats from countries like India and Brazil and upgrading slaughterhouse infrastructure for better hygiene and efficiency. Programs like "Sukuk Al-Adhiya" help distribute sacrificial animals affordably during religious festivals, easing demand spikes. These initiatives not only ensure meat availability but also support affordability for consumers amid inflation pressures and rising production costs.

Rising feed costs and supply chain improvements also significantly affect meat production in Egypt. Imported feed ingredients form nearly 90% of feed materials, making the sector vulnerable to global price changes. This has caused feed price surges leading to a sharp increase in red meat prices by over 40%. To counter this, the government plans subsidies for feed mills and explores sustainable feed sources like protein-rich aquatic plants (e.g., Azolla). Modern cold chain logistics and expanded retail networks, including online grocery platforms, are enhancing distribution efficiency, reducing losses, and making premium, halal-certified, and antibiotic-free meat options more accessible.
