Earlier Report Observations
Goat meat production in Venezuela showed considerable volatility between 2018 and 2023, ranging from 5 856 to 7 609 tons. The market expanded by 19% in 2019, reaching 6 834 tons, largely driven by the government's decree No. 3,824 of April 17, 2019, which designated goat, sheep, and pig breeding as 'wartime breeding' (crías de guerra). This policy granted special conditions for production chains to address the country's food needs, directly boosting output.
After a slight dip to 6 522 tons in 2020, production rebounded by 17% in 2021 to a peak of 7 609 tons. The following year saw a sharp 23% contraction to 5 856 tons, likely reflecting the persistent economic crisis and hyperinflation that have weighed on meat consumption since 2014. The sector recovered partially in 2023, rising 15% to 6 723 tons. Throughout the period, state initiatives such as the promotion of non‑polluting pig production and investment plans that included goat breeding systems aimed to strengthen the long‑term sustainability of domestic meat supply.
