Astana, March 21 (Xinhua) — Horse meat consumption in Kazakhstan reached a record high in 2025, Kazinform reported on Saturday, citing the DATA HUB Telegram channel.
In Q4 2025, per capita consumption was 2.35 kg, the highest level for any quarter in at least 15 years, an increase of 10.7 percent year-on-year.
By the end of the year, horse meat consumption reached 7.63 kg per person, also setting a new record, while total meat consumption was 84.4 kg.
The share of horse meat in the meat diet has risen to a record 9 percent, while consumption of beef, lamb, and pork has declined, the report says.
Shifts in consumption patterns are partly explained by higher rates of price growth for beef and lamb compared to horse meat and poultry. –0–
