Earlier Report Observations

The production of beef, sheep, and goat fat in Ecuador began at 17 537 t in 2018, a year when the government emphasized genetic improvement of the national herd through imports of high-quality breeding stock. However, market volume subsequently declined, reaching a low of 11 667 t in 2021.

A turnaround occurred in 2022, with output jumping to 14 761 t. This recovery was fueled by increased imports of live animals for genetic replenishment and greater access to state-backed credit for livestock producers. Production continued to rise in 2023, reaching 15 362 t.
