Abstract:

The Mediterranean Countries are an attractive growing market with good opportunities for many EU and non-EU poultry producing countries.
More in details, North Africa shows an attractive growing rate in poultry internal demand and the impact of imports is still quite high. The main producing country is Egypt, which in 2014 produced about 1 million tons of poultry meat, followed by Morocco (640k tons), Algeria (287k tons), Tunisia (212 k tons) and Libya (126 k tons). These countries with different timing and methods are changing gradually from rural production to an intensive and more organized system. They are uncompetitive compared to major world producers (Brazil, USA, and Thailand EU) and have attractive growing rate in domestic demand linked to the improvement of the socio-economic conditions of the population and the political stability of governments.

Abstract:

Nutrition facts and fitness are becoming a concern in the Mediterranean and North African regions (MENA). There are four countries in the region that are ranked in the top ten countries with diabetes and over-weight challenges. Consumers in the MENA region are well informed about the risks of cholesterol and high fat levels in the diet and are looking for a healthier choice. The new generation, with changing tastes and limited time to cook, is looking for ready to cook products that are healthy and easy to prepare. Turkey meat consumption is an excellent choice due to its versatility to blend nicely with many regional spices, lean protein content, lack of religious barrier, and easy to prepare.
