Duck meat and offal market in Malaysia

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the duck meat market in Malaysia showed divergent trends in volume and value. Market volume in physical terms rose sharply to 72 108 t in 2020, then gradually declined to 64 811 t by 2023. Conversely, the market's value demonstrated strong growth, climbing from $159.2 million to $237.4 million over the same period.
