Introduction

Goatmeat is the most widely consumed meat in the world

and is an important component of diets in the Middle East,North Africa (MENA) and Asia. A large majority of goatmeat

produced is consumed in the country of origin.

Total world production of goat meat was around 5.2 million tonnes cwt in 2010,

53,000 tonnes, or 1% of which was traded on the export market at a total value of

US$239 million (FAO statistics).

Over the past 20 years the Australian goatmeat industry has experienced stronggrowth, largely underpinned by the sale of goats derived from rangeland or

extensive production systems. Australia is the world leader in goatmeat exports,

with around 95% of Australian goatmeat sent offshore and accounting for around

50% of the global goatmeat trade.

Around 90% of Australias meat production is derived from rangeland goats, the

majority of which are mustered from semi-arid western regions of the eastern

states. The rangeland goat population was estimated to be between 4 6 millionhead in 2011, but an accurate measure of the population is unlikely, due to the

vast spread of the population and ability to reproduce rapidly under favourable

climatic conditions.

Goat flock

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics (2011-12 survey), the Australian managed goat flock was

516,142 head, with most of the flock (46%) in NSW, Queensland (39%), and Victoria (10%).

This was a decline of 30,471 head, or 6%, on the previous fiscal year, underpinned by a 17% decline in the NSW

flock, which was too large to offset increases of 20% and 37% in Queensland and Victoria, respectively.

In addition to the managed goat flock is the rangeland population, which in 2011 was estimated to be in the range

of 4-6 million head, however, the accuracy of the estimate is questionable, given the vast spread of the population.

Slaughter

For 2013, Australian goat slaughter was 2.07 million head2, up 12% on the 2012 total, and 29% on the five-year

average, continuing what has been decade of year-on-year increases.

Reflecting the presence of the rangeland population and hot and dry conditions throughout 2013, goat slaughter

in Queensland was up 14% year-on-year, at 747,945 head. Similarly, slaughter in Victoria and NSW was each up

19% year-on-year, at 883,480 head and 95,659 head, respectively. In contrast, slaughter in SA and WA eased, at369,042 head, and 26,998 head, respectively.

Over-the-hook prices

Underpinned by the drought induced surge in

supplies, the national average over-the-hook (OTH)

export goat prices for 2013 was 202/kg cwt across

most weight categories (10.1-12kg cwt to 20.1kg+

cwt), which was a 6-7% year-on-year decline.

The 2013 prices averaged 14-15% below the five-

year average across most categories, despite strong

international demand and the easing A$ over the

course of the year.

Goat production

Goat production in 2013 was 31,662 tonnes cwt

the highest goat production year on record3.

In line with increasing slaughter, and the rising Boer

goat influence amongst the rangeland population,

production has been steadily increasing for a

number of years, with the 2013 volume up 6% year-

on-year, and 23% on the five-year average.

Production in Queensland was 11,961 tonnes cwt in

2013, up 9% year-on-year and 24% on the five-year

average, reaching the highest annual production on

record for a calendar year. Similarly, record

production was also reached in Victoria, at 12,348

tonnes cwt, up 12% year-on-year, while in NSW,

production reached 1,524 tonnes cwt, up 26% year-on-year. In contrast, production in SA was down 4%

from 2012 levels, at 5,372 tonnes cwt, while in WA,

production halved, at 455 tonnes cwt.

According to the Goat Industry Council of Australia

(GICA), 90% of goat meat production is from

rangeland enterprises. Therefore, going forward the

rate of productivity increase will largely dependupon seasonal conditions, along with the rate Boer

goat genetic infusion.

Average carcase weights

Average goat carcase weights during 2013 were

15.2 kg/head, down 5% on the 2012 average,

largely due to the drought conditions in the major

supply regions. Highlighting the extent of the dry,

average carcase weights are 4% below the five-year

average albeit, a period including the two record

rainfall years of 2011 and 2012, each with average

weights in excess of 16 kg/head.

Largely illustrated by the impact of the drought

conditions of 2013, going forward, average carcase

weights, and ultimately production, will largely

depend upon seasonal conditions.

Figure 8 Australian goatmeat exports and values

Australia is the

largest goat meat

exporter in the

world, with an

estimated 95%of production

exported.

Australian goat exports during 2013 reached 32,671 tonnes swt, up 12% year-on-

year, and the highest volume on record.

The 2013 export value was $161 million, up 21% year-on-year.

Australia is the largest goat meat exporter in the world, with an estimated 95% of

production exported.

Over the past decade, the volume of goat meat exported has more than doubled.

Assisting trade in 2013 was the easing of the A$, which in 2013 averaged 96US,

down 7% year-on-year, and which is forecast to trade between 84-90US in 2014.

Australian goat meat exports to the US in 2013

accounted for nearly half of Australias total exports,

at 15,479 tonnes swt down 4% on the previous

year, but 12% above the five-year average.

In line with volumes declining slightly, the calendar

year export value to the US was back 4% on the

previous year, at $64.3 million.

Unlike beef and sheep exports, the overwhelming

majority of goatmeat is exported as whole carcase.In 2013, 67% of goat meat exported to the US was

in whole carcase form, with a further 26% exported

as assorted cuts (three or more primals together).

Goatmeat exports to Canada in 2013 declined 7%

year-on-year, to 1,896 tonnes swt, with the volume

of carcase down 4%, at 1,802 tonnes swt. Despite

lower volumes shipped, total export values

increased 4% year-on-year, to $8.67 million.

The decline in shipments to the US comes following

five consecutive years of year-on-year increases,

with the rapid and large inclusion of China as an

Australian protein importer impeding the recent,

steady growth to the US and Canada.

Going forward, the US is likely to remain a large

Australian goatmeat consumer, given the expanding

Hispanic population large consumers of goat

meat. In terms of trading position and pricing, the A$, as

previously mentioned, averaged 7% lower year-on-

year in 2013, at 96US, which, despite being volatile

at times, had an overall positive impact on

Australias trading position.

Going forward, the A$ is expected to trade at lower

levels than the 2013 average, and while there are

indications of improved economic sentiment in the

US, the persistence of demand from China will

largely dictate volumes shipped to North America

over the coming years.

Additionally, while it is difficult to ascertain

production levels going forward, and with the recent

drought induced slaughter having likely reduced the

breeding flock, production in 2014 is likely to be

lower, reducing the volume available for export.

Australian goatmeat exports to the Caribbean in 2013 totalled 2,541 tonnes swt, back 18% year-on-year and

13% on the five-year average.

Trinidad and Tobago is the largest market in the region, where volumes for the year increased 3% from 2012

volumes, to 1,942 tonnes swt, with an annual value of $9.9 million, down 5%. Whole carcase exports to Trinidad

and Tobago were up 5% year-on-year, at 1,507 tonnes swt.

Jamaica is the next largest market in the region, where exports halved form the previous year, at 423 tonnes swt,

underpinned by the strong competition from China. The entire volume shipped in 2013 was whole carcase, where

in previous years there had been some further processing in Australia.

The very small population of Trinidad and Tobago (1.3 million people) and Jamaica (2.8 million people), along with

the relatively low GDP growth of 1.6% and 0.4% in 2013, respectively, could hinder their ability to compete with

the strength of Chinese buying power over the short to medium term limiting the export potential for Australian

goat meat to the region.

Live exports summary

Table 3 Austral ian live goatexports (head)

Australian live goat exports for 2013 totalled at 75,107 head, up 21% year-on-year,

yet down 1% on the five-year average, while the value was up 3%, at $8.4 million.

Numbers to the largest market, Malaysia, were down 6% from year-ago levels, at

55,398 head, however, it should be noted that numbers to Singapore were up

785%, at 16,778 head (all of which are sent to Malaysia). The export value to

Malaysia was down 20%, at $6.1 million, while to Singapore the value was $1.5

million.

Malaysia is a large live market for Australian goats, due to its proximity, with the

majority of live goat exports being air freighted. Additionally, there is huge culturaldiversity in Malaysia all of which eat goat meat.

Furthermore, as demand from China increases for protein, including goat meat,

greater goat numbers from neighbouring countries are heading to China, as

opposed to Malaysia, creating an opportunity for Australian goat.

The majority of live goat exports in 2013 were from NSW, with numbers exportedfrom the state up 20% year-on-year, at 44,558 head accounting for 59% of total

live exports.

The greatest proportion of the remaining exports in 2013 was from SA, at 25,732

head, which was up 5% year-on-year. Numbers exported from Victoria (809 head),

the NT (1,080 head) and WA (2,231 head) were all higher than the previous year.
