Earlier Report Observations

The volume of the fresh or chilled duck meat market in MERCOSUR reached 14 871 t in 2018 but then declined to 12 131 t by 2020. Recovery began in 2021, with volume rising to 13 277 t, and peaked in 2022 at 13 562 t. In 2023, the market saw a slight contraction to 13 067 t.

The post-2020 growth aligned with shifting consumer preferences across the region. Buyers increasingly valued nutrient-rich foods such as proteins and minerals, which boosted demand for fresh and minimally processed duck meat. Urbanization and rising disposable incomes further supported the popularity of ready-to-consume poultry products.

Simultaneously, the adoption of advanced packaging technologies helped extend shelf life and preserve freshness, maintaining product availability. On the supply side, lower animal feed costs and increased meat production in Brazil, a key MERCOSUR producer, improved production economics and ensured steady supply.
