Earlier Report Observations

The market for sheep and goat meat in Dominica displayed notable volatility in volume between 2018 and 2023. Consumption peaked at 181.7 tons in 2020 after an initial decline from 177.1 tons in 2018 to 165.9 tons in 2019. Following the peak, the market size contracted to 170.6 tons in 2021 and then stabilized at approximately 171.1 tons for the next two years.

This fluctuation was largely attributable to changes in import volumes, which fell sharply in 2019 before surging to 48.6 tons in 2020. Concurrently, domestic production showed a consistent but gradual upward trend, increasing from 132.5 tons to 134.3 tons over the six-year period. The significant import swing in 2020 directly contributed to that year's market high.

By 2022 and 2023, the market reached a steadier state, with imports settling around 37 tons and local production continuing its slow growth. With no exports recorded, the overall market volume was determined by the interplay between these two supply sources, concluding the period at a stable level.
