Earlier Report Observations

The goat meat market in New Caledonia stood at 2 700 kg in 2018, then declined to 810 kg by 2022 before a slight recovery to 900 kg in 2023. The market has been shaped by the territory's food autonomy policy, with meat import monopoly held by the state-owned Office de commercialisation et d’entreposage frigorifique (OCEF) and the interprofessional association Viande de Nouvelle-Calédonie (IVNC) coordinating local meat sector players.

In July 2022, industry stakeholders signed a quality-price agreement for meat aiming to stabilize supply and prices, against the backdrop of falling volumes. The same year, authorities moved to regulate the commercialization of wild deer meat, creating a new short supply chain for game meat, which introduced an alternative local meat product to the market.

By 2024, social unrest led to blockades that disrupted abattoir operations and logistics, affecting meat production broadly, while new sanitary rules for wild deer meat were enacted to support the local economy and environmental goals through a controlled short supply chain.
