Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, the New Zealand market for fresh or chilled duck meat expanded, with volume rising from 542 t to 606 t. This growth was underpinned by biosecurity measures, such as raising ducks in barns to prevent avian diseases, and by increasing consumer popularity of duck meat, which made duck farming an attractive option due to its fast production cycle compared to other livestock.

After peaking in 2021, the domestic market volume contracted to 473 t in 2022 and further to 447 t in 2023. This decline coincided with a substantial surge in export volumes, which jumped from 51 t in 2021 to 181 t in 2022 and 206 t in 2023, reducing the product available for local consumption.

Domestic production remained relatively stable though it gradually eased from 663 t in 2018 to 653 t in 2023, while imports became negligible after 2018, indicating the market's self-sufficiency.
