The goat meat production in Egypt has shown significant fluctuations over the last decade. Between 2013 and 2016, production hovered around 51-53 thousand metric tons, reflecting relative stability. However, 2017 marked a sharp decline to 33 thousand metric tons, from which production never fully recovered. The downward trend persisted, reaching 29.54 thousand metric tons in 2023, indicative of a -4.71% year-on-year decrease and a -4.48% CAGR over the last five years.
Future trends indicate a continued decline in production, with a forecasted 5-year CAGR of -4.74% and an estimated further reduction to 21.92 thousand metric tons by 2028. This suggests ongoing challenges in the goat meat sector, likely influenced by economic, environmental, or logistical factors.
Future trends to watch for:
- Impact of climate change on livestock availability and quality
- Government policy changes or support for the agriculture sector
- Market demand shifts both locally and internationally
- Technological advancements in animal husbandry and supply chain improvements
