Also, consumers are increasingly conscious of the environmental impacts of meat production in these arid regions, which may further constrain the market. Adapting to these climatic challenges will be crucial for sustaining the industry's growth.

Prolonging Israel-Hamas War Could Affect Middle East and Africa Canned Meat Market

It could adversely affect the growth of canned meat market in the region, leading to increased prices and reduced availability, making it challenging for consumers in the Middle East and Africa to access affordable protein sources.
