Qatar Poultry Market Dynamics
Increasing Production and Consumption of Poultry Meat in Qatar is Spurring the Growth of the Qatar Poultry Market
The poultry industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in Qatar due to the increase in poultry and meat consumption. According to the report published by the United States Department of Agriculture, in 2021, the domestic consumption of poultry meat is 160,000 metric tons increasing from 17.65% in 2020. In November 2021, Qatar imported eggs from Tamil Nadu, India, due to the increased demand for eggs owing to the FIFA World Cup 2022. According to the report from the poultry farms in Tamil Nadu, egg export to Qatar has doubled since the world cup began. Around 20-25 lakhs of eggs are exported to Qatar from the Tamil Nadu district alone.
According to the Qatar Statistics Authority, the population of Qatar has been increasing steadily, from 1.6 million in 2010 to 2.8 million in 2020. This increase in population has led to a corresponding increase in demand for poultry products. Additionally, the Qatari government has implemented various initiatives to support and promote local agriculture and food production, including poultry. For instance, in 2020, the government launched the "Farm to Fork" initiative to support local food production and reduce the country's reliance on food imports.
Stringent Regulations Imposed by the Qatar Government are Acting as a Hindrance to the Qatar Poultry Market Growth
The Qatari government has implemented stringent regulations on food production and imports to ensure food safety and security. While these regulations are necessary to protect public health, they can also pose challenges for businesses operating in the Qatar poultry market. For example, in 2020, the Qatari government banned the import of all poultry products from Saudi Arabia due to an outbreak of bird flu in the country. This ban resulted in a shortage of poultry products in the market and increased prices for consumers.
Qatar Poultry Market Segment Analysis
The Qatar poultry market is segmented based on product type and species type.
Turkey Segment Accounted for the Highest Share of the Qatar Poultry Market
In Qatar, turkeys are large birds mostly used for meat consumption. An increasing preference for turkey products over other meat products drives the segment's growth. The increase in turkey consumption for protein requirement in the country drives the market growth. Increased demand for turkey due to its efficient supply of hatching eggs and chicks, is expected to drive the segment growth. Qatar has achieved 100% self-sufficiency in producing live poultry, meat and dairy products. An increase in government initiatives for the production of Turkey in Qatar drives segment growth in the forecast period.

COVID-19 Impact on Qatar Poultry Market
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of COVID-19 as a pandemic. Qatar recorded its first confirmed case of Covid 19 on February 2020. COVID-19 has directly influenced the manufacturers' supply chain across Qatar and shut down the production facilities to minimize the risk of virus spread. In addition, the lockdown policies negatively affected the demand for poultry due to difficulties in the local and international distribution network of poultry products due to restrictions of movement.
Russia-Ukraine War Impact
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has had a limited impact on the Qatar poultry market. While Qatar relies heavily on poultry imports to meet its domestic demand, most of these imports come from Brazil, France, and the Netherlands, rather than Russia or Ukraine. According to the Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Brazil is the largest supplier of poultry products to Qatar, accounting for over 50% of the country's total poultry imports.
