Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, production of fresh or chilled duck meat in Sao Tome and Principe increased from around 32 tons to a peak of 34 tons in 2020 before gradually declining to approximately 33 tons by 2023. The overall market volume followed a similar trajectory, remaining entirely supplied by domestic output until 2022. In 2023, the market volume rose to 33.7 tons as the country recorded its first imports of duck meat, adding 0.96 tons to the supply.

The market structure is characterized by a heavy reliance on imports to meet local consumption, as domestic production is insufficient. Consumer preferences traditionally favor fish and seafood, which are more accessible and deeply rooted in the local cuisine, limiting the demand for duck meat. In 2024, imports surged to 18.7 tons, underscoring the ongoing dependency on foreign suppliers. Additionally, the government's validation of a national strategic plan for fisheries and aquaculture for 2024-2034 reinforces the focus on seafood, potentially shaping long-term protein consumption patterns away from meats like duck.
