Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the goat meat market in the Central African Republic experienced a period of gradual expansion. The total market volume increased from 21 365 t to 22 146 t, representing overall growth of approximately 3.7%. This upward trajectory was underpinned by consistent yearly rises in domestic production, which climbed from 21 192 t to 22 025 t over the same period.

Market growth fluctuated on an annual basis. A significant rise of 1.6% was recorded in 2019, followed by slower growth of 0.7% in 2020. The market nearly stabilized in 2021 with a minimal increase, before another notable uptick of 1.3% in 2022. The trend concluded with a very slight contraction of 0.1% in 2023, which effectively marked a return to stabilization rather than a decline.

Variations in import volumes, which ranged from a low of 121 t to a high of 380 t, introduced some volatility to the total supply figures from year to year. However, the fundamental driver of the market's gradual expansion remained the steady output from local production.
