Fresh or chilled duck meat market in Georgia

Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled duck meat in Georgia showed significant volatility from 2018 to 2023, with the total volume falling from 114 tons to 102 tons in 2020 before rebounding to 118 tons by 2023. Early regulatory efforts included enhanced meat control measures and the adoption of a technical regulation for poultry meat marketing in 2019, which introduced labeling rules but was later suspended.

A major shift occurred in 2020 when the mandatory HACCP system for animal-origin food took effect, raising safety standards and sharply reducing imports to just 2.3 tons. The suspension of the marketing requirements regulation in early 2021 eased compliance, allowing imports to recover partially. Market expansion resumed in 2023, driven by retail consolidation as large companies gained share due to low barriers for new store openings, improving distribution and supporting import growth to 17.5 tons.
