Earlier Report Observations
Production of fresh, chilled, or frozen goat meat in Mexico increased gradually from 39 851 t in 2018 to 41 034 t in 2023. The market relied entirely on domestic output, with no imports recorded throughout the period. A small export volume of 121 t emerged in 2022, slightly reducing the domestic market size that year to 40 705 t.
The growth in 2022 coincided with Mexico's goat meat exports reaching US$848 thousand, creating an additional outlet for producers. At the same time, the official sanitary standard NOM-213-SSA1-2018, which sets refrigeration and freezing requirements for processed meat products, helped ensure product quality and market access. These factors encouraged higher production volumes.
By 2024, the sector was characterized by processing plants capable of handling over 250 000 goats annually, supplying both domestic and U.S. markets. Mexico maintained a positive trade balance in sheep and goat meat, estimated at US$30.3 million, reflecting sustained export activity.
