End Market Analysis of Ethiopian Livestock and ... - USAID Microlinks

ANNEXES
The annexes below provide comparative data on frozen and chilled beef exports from the five major suppliers to the
Middle East between 2004 and 2008. The tables provide the following specific data:
• Volume of exports (in kg) to the major meat importers in the region: Bahrain, Egypt, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar,
Saudi Arabia, and the UAE
• Percentage growth (total) over the 2004-2008 period
• Value of exports (in USD) in 2008 (the most recent year available). Values are reported FOB.
• Prices in USD/MT, also reported FOB.
• Total exports to Middle East. Note: this is the total of exports to the seven countries listed above, excluding
other Middle Eastern countries which may have imported small volumes of meat.
• Total exports to the world. This line shows the country’s total exports to the world, which helps the reader
understand the relative size of the Middle Eastern market in proportion to other markets, shown in the next
line (“% to Middle East”). In the case of beef, for instance, this shows that the Middle East is the key market
for Pakistan (absorbing 98-99 percent of its total beef exports), while it is only a very minor market for
Australia (absorbing only 1 percent of its total beef exports).
This data was obtained from UN COMTRADE (http://comtrade.un.org/db). Data on sheep and goat meat exports
(as well as live animals) can be found on the same website and analysis is included in this study. However, sheep and
goat meat exports are not included below, as they are disaggregated to such an extent that the results are difficult to
compare across countries.
