Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2021, Liberia's domestic goat meat production gradually declined from 1 034 t to 1 014 t, leading to a corresponding decrease in total market volume over the same period as imports remained negligible.

The market expanded sharply to 1 138 t in 2022, driven entirely by a surge in imports to 129 t which offset the ongoing domestic production decline. In 2023, the market volume contracted to 1 061 t as imports fell to 58 t and local production continued its gradual decrease.
