Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for fresh or chilled duck meat in Nepal increased from 297 t to 389 t, driven by government initiatives to boost livestock productivity through the National Livestock Breeding Office and the Agribusiness Promotion and Marketing Development Directorate. Growing consumer demand for safe and quality meat also stimulated market development as processing standards and cold chain infrastructure improved.

Growth accelerated from 2021, reaching 596 t by 2022, due to the entry of new players such as organic poultry producers and investments in meat processing capacities. Regulatory changes, including stricter labeling and packaging requirements for traceability, along with state support for the domestic meat industry through incentives and infrastructure development, created favorable conditions for production expansion.

In 2023, the market volume more than doubled to 1358 t, resulting from the continued effect of government support, enhanced safety standards, and significant expansion of domestic production capacities, which reduced import dependence and met rising domestic demand.
