Fresh or chilled goose meat market in Northern America

Earlier Report Observations

The market for fresh or chilled goose meat in Northern America experienced notable fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. After a peak volume of 1 144.3 тыс. т in 2020, the market contracted over the following two years. This correction coincided with significant price movements; in 2021, the price dropped to $1.60 per kg, a development that reflected shifting market conditions and influenced production and consumption decisions. The subsequent price recovery to $2.35 per kg in 2022 contributed to a further adjustment in market volume.

Domestic production remained relatively stable, hovering near 990 тыс. т in the latter part of the period. However, import volumes were highly volatile, with a sharp surge to 167.2 тыс. т in 2020 substantially supporting that year's market expansion. The following years saw imports retreat to much lower levels, which, combined with the price factors, played a role in the overall market trajectory.

By 2023, the market showed signs of stabilization, with volume edging up slightly to 1 017.5 тыс. т. The period closed with the market having recalibrated from its 2020 high, influenced by the interplay of domestic output, variable import flows, and key price signals.
