Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, Peru's sheep and goat meat market volume showed moderate fluctuations, remaining within a range of 74 600 to 77 800 tons annually. Production began at 77 276 tons in 2018, edged up to 77 766 tons in 2019, then contracted to 74 633 tons in 2020 before gradually recovering to 77 263 tons by 2023.

In 2024, a broader trend in the meat market pointed to rising sales of packaged products like canned, frozen, and boneless refrigerated meats. This shift was attributed to consumers having less time for traditional meal preparation and a growing preference for functional and healthy foods, which could influence demand patterns within the sheep and goat meat segment.
