Earlier Report Observations
The goat meat market in Congo saw gradual growth from 2018 to 2020, with volume increasing from 1 029 t to 1 032 t. In 2021, the market expanded sharply to 1 072 t, driven by a temporary import surge of 25 t while domestic production remained stable at 1 048 t. After imports ceased, the market volume returned to around 1 050 t in 2022 and 2023.
In 2024, regulatory developments and market conditions shaped the sector. The Congolese government adopted decrees on financial mediation and SME support, potentially affecting agricultural production. Veterinary sanitary controls under CEMAC regulations were enforced for meat safety, and the country's vast arable land offered potential for livestock expansion, though local production still relied on imports to meet protein needs.
