Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for goat meat in Malaysia declined from 2,736 t in 2018 to 1,952 t in 2020, a reduction of nearly 30% over two years. It then began to recover, reaching 2,023 t in 2021 and 2,166 t in 2022, before a sharp increase to 2,670 t in 2023, which brought the market close to its 2018 level.

By 2025, the market was characterized by stable demand for fresh local goat meat, with average prices around RM56.38/kg. New product segments such as rolled goat and aqiqah packages using both local and imported meat have emerged, catering to special occasions. Distribution channels have evolved with the adoption of vacuum packaging and direct home delivery by suppliers, facilitating online purchases. Imported frozen goat meat from Australia and New Zealand remains a key source, offering lower prices and influencing consumer choice between fresh local and frozen imported products.
