Why this project for the Horn?
Opportunities/realities : • The livestock resources in the Horn• The MENA Market for live animals and meat • Strategic location• Tradition to local breed consumption but;
Challenges:• Challenges are growing and markets are taken away or reduced• Among others, gaps in the skills of producers and traders in the
implementation of regionally/internationally acceptable standards in the production, traceability, handling, preservation of meat for exports, variations in the quality of animals and legal import and export procedures

Meat carcasses and live animals; still space
• the highest volume of meat import– Egypt (45%) and mainly of beef
– Emirates and Saudi Arabia which was mainly of small ruminant carcass
• the exporting countries from the Horn are covering only 34% of live animal and 2.5% of the meat trade which is far below what should have been considered due to the proximity of the market and adaptation to the taste of the animals
Major competitors of Horn exporters in the Middle Eastern market
Export type Competitor Remark
Live Sheep Australia Exported 3.8 million sheep to middle
East in 2007-8
Beef Brazil, India, Argentina,
Sheep meat Australia and New Zealand
Shoats India, Iran
