Earlier Report Observations
The goat meat market in Burkina Faso is primarily supplied by small local farmers, with livestock rearing being a key economic activity. Production rose to 32,534 tons in 2019, up from 31,021 tons the previous year. This increase occurred alongside a significant decline in beef production from 2017 onward, which likely led consumers to substitute toward goat meat, boosting its output.
In 2020, production dropped sharply to 26,667 tons. After this decline, the market stabilized, with volumes remaining around 27,000 tons through 2023. During these years, domestic demand for meat continued to grow due to population increase and consumer preference for local products, supporting steady output. However, insecurity in some regions disrupted secondary markets and distribution channels, posing challenges to market fluidity.
Prices for goat meat climbed substantially, with local prices soaring from 30,000-40,000 FCFA to over 70,000 FCFA by 2022, reflecting tight market conditions and sustained demand. The country's reliance on meat imports to meet consumption needs persisted, and there were calls to ease cross-border livestock movement to improve supply.
