Earlier Report Observations

The Nigerian goat meat market volume grew steadily from 276 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 291.4 thousand tonnes in 2023, reflecting a total increase of 15.4 thousand tonnes over the six-year period. The expansion was consistent, with only a minor stabilization in 2020 when volume dipped slightly to 283.7 thousand tonnes.

Production and market size figures moved in close alignment, as imports and exports remained negligible throughout the period. This indicates a predominantly domestic market where local supply met virtually all consumption needs.

In 2024, the government initiated modernization of the goat sector, introducing improved pasture varieties to enhance feed availability and herd health. Concurrently, subscription-based delivery services for goat meat emerged, gaining traction with rapid growth in early 2024, signaling shifts in distribution and consumer access.
