Earlier Report Observations
Iran's goat meat production volume fluctuated significantly between 2018 and 2023. The market dropped sharply to 24 005 t in 2019 from 33 294 t the previous year, a decline that coincided with increased imports of frozen meat saturating the market and low consumer purchasing power reducing demand for domestic output.
A sustained recovery began in 2020, driven by government measures to stabilize the market. These included the regulated daily distribution of frozen meat through fruit and vegetable markets to control prices, a state plan to supply 120 t of meat daily from various sources, and a policy change allowing each household to purchase up to 3 kg of subsidized government meat monthly. The build-up of emergency meat reserves also provided underlying support to the sector.
After peaking at 38 839 t in 2022, production fell by 11.5% to 34 361 t in 2023.
