MORDOR INTELLIGENCE

2. MEAT SECTOR OVERVIEW, GCC
 Severe shortage of local products in GCC region, especially fresh chicken, resulting in consumers looking for imported
products, which are not only more expensive but also less fresh compared to local produce.
 Supplies from producers of poultry products in the country, can cater only to an extent during normal seasons, but as a
result of peak demand during Ramadan, supplies are able to meet only a fraction of demand.
 Consumers have voiced several complaints over the years urging government authorities to intervene directly and
ensure there are more than just a few producers of poultry products which will also encourage healthy competition
and lead to self-sufficiency in food supplies.
 Supplies of fresh chicken and eggs surges during a few months specifically during Ramadan and the tourist season.
 The imports of chicken and eggs during this period are falling far short of the consumption demands of the country.
 Our sources indicate that shortage of local supplies is not only limited to fresh chicken, but also in local eggs and other
items.
