About meat of sheep or goats; fresh, chilled or frozen

HS code 0204 covers the trade of meat from sheep and goats, which is an important agricultural commodity with significant global demand.

The production and trade of sheep and goat meat is particularly prevalent in regions with favorable climates for livestock rearing, such as Oceania, Europe, and parts of Asia and Africa.

Production process

The production of sheep and goat meat typically involves raising the animals on pastures or in controlled environments, where they are fed a balanced diet and cared for to ensure their health and well-being. Once the animals reach the appropriate age and weight, they are humanely slaughtered, and the meat is processed, packaged, and distributed to domestic and international markets.

The key inputs required for the sheep and goat meat industry include land for grazing, feed (such as grains, hay, and forage), water, and livestock management equipment. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized slaughtering and processing facilities, as well as transportation infrastructure to move the products to consumers.
