Earlier Report Observations

The chicken meat and offal market in Barbados showed considerable volatility between 2018 and 2023. Market volume started at 17 314 t in 2018, dipped to a low of 12 961 t in 2020, and then recovered strongly to 16 583 t in 2022 before a modest decline to 16 187 t in 2023. Domestic production mirrored this pattern, falling sharply in 2020 and regaining ground in the following years.

Imports, while generally below 1 000 t in earlier years, jumped to 1 116 t in 2024 as exports remained negligible. This rise in imports occurred alongside broader industry shifts, including growing global consumer demand for convenient, high-protein frozen poultry products and advancements in freezing technology that improved product quality and shelf life.

The market's recovery after 2020 and the increased import activity in 2024 reflect an adaptive supply chain responding to evolving consumption patterns, with a notable pivot toward frozen offerings that cater to convenience and longer storage.
