Earlier Report Observations

The goat meat market in Gabon showed a pattern of moderate growth with intermittent fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Market volume dipped to 332 t in 2019 but recovered strongly over the next two years, peaking at 356 t in 2021. This upward trajectory was primarily driven by a consistent expansion in domestic production, which increased from 330 t to 341 t across the period.

Import levels were volatile, falling to zero in 2019 before rising sharply to 19 t in 2021. These swings in foreign supply contributed to the overall market movements, with higher imports coinciding with peak market size. The market entered a phase of stabilization after 2021, with volume remaining around 355–353 t through 2023 as production gains balanced a reduction in imports.
