Australia: A year of highs sets stage for a jam-packed 2025
Australian goatmeat has broken records across the globe this year. As of November, exports for 2024 have smashed the previous Australian record of 35,778 tonnes from 2014 to hit a new high of 46,939 tonnes.
The United States (US) continues to be Australia’s largest goatmeat export market, comprising 54% of all exports this year. Rounding out the top five markets are South Korea, Mainland China, Taiwan and Canada.
The majority of exported goatmeat continues to be frozen, either as a whole carcase or in a six-way split.
In line with exports, slaughter has also hit record highs, reaching an all-time high of 74,226 goats in August. Slaughter has continued to hold steady with 63,518 goats at the end of November, well above the November 2023 figures (45,700 goats).
