คาซัคสถาน “กินเนื้อม้า” – ภาพประกอบ – Horse meat consumption in Kazakhstan reached a record high in 2025. Horses cross the Aconcagua dried-up river in the town of Ocoa, which is under the jurisdiction of the mayor of Hijuelas, Chile. The shift in consumption structure was partly attributed to faster price increases for beef and lamb compared with horse meat and poultry. REUTERS
