Earlier Report Observations

The sheep and goat meat market in Seychelles saw considerable movement between 2018 and 2023. Market volume peaked at 492 tons in 2018 before declining sharply to 356 tons in 2019 and 285 tons in 2020. A sustained recovery followed, lifting the market to 333 tons in 2021, 421 tons in 2022, and 519 tons in 2023. Domestic production increased modestly from 43.1 tons to 44.2 tons over these years, while imports fell from 449 tons to 241 tons in 2020 and then rebounded to 475 tons by 2023.

In 2024, imports remained high at 473 tons. This was supported by the lifting of import bans on fresh products from Reunion, which facilitated increased shipments of goods including meat to Seychelles and helped maintain strong import flows for the market.
