Earlier Report Observations
Production of sheep and goat meat in Bolivia increased from 66 982 tons in 2018 to 81 689 tons in 2023. The growth was interrupted by a slight decline in 2020, when volume fell by 2.6%. A key driver was the expanded supply from major producers such as the Monte Rico farm in Santa Cruz, which raised output to 1 300 lambs per year and extended its distribution to fairs in Patacamaya and markets in La Paz-El Alto.
Regulatory enhancements, including the updated General Animal Health Regulation, introduced brucellosis vaccination and zootechnical labeling requirements, raising herd health standards. In 2022, the enforcement of European meat labeling rules encouraged Bolivian producers to adapt traceability systems for potential exports.
Steady demand from restaurants and supermarkets in Santa Cruz supported consumption growth, leading to the opening of new processing facilities for artisan products. Government programs, such as the SENASAG RA 168/2022 resolution, provided technical assistance and subsidies to small producers for genetic improvement and biosecurity.
