Earlier Report Observations

The goat meat market volume in the Dominican Republic reached a high of 877 t in 2019 before entering a sustained contraction, declining to 673 t by 2023. This represented a 23% reduction from the peak, closely tracking a parallel fall in domestic production from 915 t to 673 t over the same six-year period.

While international trade had a limited impact on the local market, with exports effectively halting after 2019, broader global developments emerged in 2024. These included rising demand for goat meat in the United States, driven by a growing ethnic population and preferences for lean protein, as well as regulatory harmonization in the European Union concerning the classification of fresh meat.
