Goose meat and offal market Ukraine

Earlier Report Observations

The Ukrainian goose meat and offal market expanded from 2018 to 2020, reaching nearly 9 823 t by the end of the period. This growth was supported by leading producers and agroholdings reorienting production to meet European standards, enhancing product quality and competitiveness. Further momentum came from the adoption of new loss-minimization technologies in processing and stricter state veterinary controls at slaughterhouses, which collectively improved production efficiency and product safety.

A sharp contraction followed from 2021 onward, with market volume falling to 6 413 t that year and to 5 101 t by 2023. The decline coincided with a continued industry focus on growing chicken exports, which likely diverted resources and attention away from goose meat production. Broader challenges in the livestock sector were evident, highlighted by reports of significant declines in beef output over recent years, while new mandatory pre-slaughter veterinary inspection rules introduced additional operational requirements for meat processors.

By 2023, the market showed signs of stabilization around 5 100 t. During this phase, industry analysis pointed to ongoing efforts to boost the sector's investment appeal and to implement advanced technologies for the rational use of slaughter by-products, aiming to improve overall operational efficiency.
