Earlier Report Observations

The market for salted, in brine, dried or smoked beef in Madagascar showed moderate growth early in the period, reaching 139.4 metric tons in 2019. This increase was supported by the suspension of meat and live cattle exports, which boosted domestic availability. However, in 2018 the market already faced pressure from rising beef prices due to heightened competition among operators and a decrease in cattle supply to urban areas.

After a drop to 125.6 metric tons in 2020, the market partially recovered to 127.5 metric tons in 2021, aided by government and IFC-backed efforts to strengthen the cattle sector through electronic tagging for traceability and improved breeding practices. A sharp decline to 89.4 metric tons occurred in 2022, even as projects to upgrade slaughterhouses and rebuild herds continued. By 2023, production rebounded to 111.5 metric tons, linked to governance reforms in the beef sector, including a controversial plan to resume beef exports and investments by the private company BOVIMA with World Bank support for herd diversification and artificial insemination.
