Game meat and rabbit is a four-material family, and the only one in the meat group with a rise over the quarter. On figures dated 4 November 2026 it averaged +6.0% over three months, against -0.7% for meat as a whole. Over a year it is 4.2% lower, a weaker result than the group's -2.3%. Three materials rose and one fell.
Rabbit accounts for most of that. It climbed 20.7% over three months, the largest gain anywhere in meat, and 5.3% over a year. It is the only line in the family that is up on the year.
Frog and frog leg track each other: +2.5% over three months, -6.9% over twelve. Wild boar is the one faller, down 1.8% over the quarter and 8.5% over a year, the family's weakest annual figure.
The rabbit note, which runs to 6 October, reports that Catalonia was preparing per-animal aid for its rabbit farmers in late July after losing a large share of its rabbit farms. By 3 August, Hungary had become the leading supplier of rabbit to third countries. On 17 July, sector representatives had travelled to Brussels with a study.
The wild boar note, up to 2 November, says French hunters culled a record number of boars in the 2025-2026 season, a milestone reported on 21 October. On 17 September Catalonia allocated funds to wild boar capture and commercialisation, and the big-game hunting season in Córdoba was scheduled to open on 17 October, with monterías, ganchos and batidas described as hunting methods of great social and economic weight.
The family's annual decline comes from the two frog lines and wild boar, whose falls outweigh rabbit's 5.3% gain over the year.
