Egypt Animal Feed Market Growth
The increasing adoption of protein-rich foods and energy-dense eating habits is changing the meat consumption trends in Egypt. This is further creating an opportunity for the feed sector to improve the quality of animal meat. Egypt’s national herd is mainly composed of bovine dairy cattle (Bos taurus) and domestic water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis), in a ratio of 55% to 45%. The poultry sector produces approximately 1.25-billion-day-old chicks, 1.1 billion broilers and 8 billion table eggs per year. The large commercial breeders constitute approximately 70% of the production.
Cereals and soybeans are considered the backbone of the compound animal feed sector in Egypt. The country is an agriculture-based economy, and the presence of sufficient raw materials is supporting the growth of the animal feed market. The soybean production in Egypt was 56 million during 2022-23. The increase in production of soybeans and other raw materials is due to the increase in area harvested in the country.
The area of agricultural land in Egypt is majorly located in the Nile Valley and delta, with some oases and some arable land in Sinai. The other arable areas include Sohag, Asyut, Qena, Luxor, and Aswan. The increasing agricultural activities and raw material cultivation supported by government initiatives and policies are further contributing to the regional market for animal feed.
