Earlier Report Observations
The goat meat market in Niger grew from 28 164 tons in 2018 to 31 705 tons in 2020, driven by rising domestic demand for small ruminant meat and the international recognition of the Maradi red goat for its quality. Investments in slaughterhouse infrastructure built in the 1980s in cities like Maradi, Tahoua, and Zinder provided a foundation for increased production under improved sanitary conditions.
After reaching its peak, the market volume gradually declined to 28 393 tons by 2023. During this period, the sector focused on enhancing sanitary and environmental practices in meat markets and received support from European Union programs aimed at strengthening agro-sylvo-pastoral value chains. Ongoing initiatives to transform and modernize the livestock sector were launched to improve food security and adapt to demographic growth.
Recent developments include the official recognition of the Maradi red goat skin as a collective brand, reinforcing its value in international markets. The emergence of subscription-based delivery startups for goat meat, with rapid growth in early 2024, reflects evolving consumption patterns. Additionally, a new market information system was introduced to increase transparency and support for rural actors in the value chain.
