Earlier Report Observations

The Gambian poultry meat market entered a growth phase in 2018 when Russia began its first exports to the country, providing a new import source that helped lift total market volume to 23 401 tons. Imports continued to rise the following year, reaching 24 707 tons. This expansion was interrupted in 2020 as the COVID-19 pandemic and associated global supply chain disruptions led to a reduction in imports, bringing the market volume down to 26 262 tons.

Post-pandemic recovery in worldwide poultry demand, coupled with a growing focus on product quality and safety standards, supported a rebound in imports to 27 905 tons in 2021, pushing the market volume to 30 131 tons. A dramatic surge followed in 2022, with imports jumping to 44 897 tons and the market volume nearly doubling to 47 093 tons. Growth continued into 2023, with imports reaching 46 880 tons and the market volume climbing to 49 306 tons, while domestic production saw a modest increase to 2 426 tons.
