Earlier Report Observations

The market for sheep and goat meat in Saint Lucia showed significant volatility in volume from 2018 to 2023, ranging from a high of 730 t to a low of 484 t. Domestic production remained relatively stable, fluctuating narrowly between 319 t and 329 t annually, meaning the overall market swings were primarily driven by changes in import volumes, which varied from 161 t to 403 t over the period.

A sharp contraction in imports to 161 t in 2021 led the total market volume to fall to its lowest point of 484 t. This was followed by a surge the next year, with imports exceeding 403 t and pushing the market to its peak of 730 t in 2022. The market then moderated in 2023 to 566 t, as imports fell back to 237 t.
