Earlier Report Observations
Production of sheep and goat meat in Niger expanded from 94.6 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 102.6 thousand tonnes in 2020. This growth was propelled by a comprehensive transformation of the agropastoral sector initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, which focused on adding value to local products like meat to create jobs and boost rural economies. Continued policies in 2019 and 2020 emphasized local processing of livestock products, further supporting production increases.
After peaking in 2020, output declined to 97.7 thousand tonnes in 2021 and 94.6 thousand tonnes in 2022, then stabilized at 93.2 thousand tonnes in 2023. During this period, the government maintained its support through training programs for livestock actors and organized the SAHEL-NIGER fair to promote agro-pastoral products and foster dialogue between producers and authorities.
