In 2023, France led European exports of fresh or chilled goat meat with a 33.8% share, followed by Greece at 26.69%, and Spain at 18.48%. Notable variations were observed with the Netherlands seeing a significant 21.82% increase, Portugal at 45.06%, and Italy at 14.81%. In contrast, Romania, Bulgaria, and Sweden experienced declines, with Sweden facing the steepest at 29.19%. Over the past five years, these shifts suggest potential growth in emerging markets and a stabilization in traditional exporters.
Future trends to watch include the Netherlands' expansion, driven by increased demand and production efficiencies, and whether Southern European countries like Portugal can maintain their recent growth trajectory. Additionally, the diversification of export markets could play a critical role in sustaining the upward trend in European goat meat exports.
