Earlier Report Observations

The market for bovine, sheep, and goat fats in Georgia declined from 1 066 t in 2018 to 757 t in 2021. This decrease was linked to a significant 20.8% reduction in sheep and goat herds in 2021, which constrained the raw material base for production. In preceding years, amendments to the technical regulation for dairy products, initially enforced in 2015, remained in effect and introduced new labeling requirements that could influence the fats market.

Market volume recovered to 904 t in 2022, aided by a drop in live sheep exports that freed up more animals for domestic slaughter. Processing infrastructure also improved: the number of slaughterhouses rose to 105 by the end of 2021, providing broader access to capacity. In 2023, the market stabilized at 881 t.
