Spain: The value of sheep exports increased by 20% in 2024
These figures were analyzed in a meeting between the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food and the sector. At the meeting, it was revealed that sheep and goat meat production in Spain remained stable last year (-0.1%) and reached a total of €1.183 billion.
This sector represents 4.2% of livestock production in Spain. This was stated by Elena Busutil, Director General of Agricultural Production and Markets, who chaired the meeting with the sector. Among the data analyzed, a downward trend in the national sheep population (-0.8%) stands out.
This trend is also observed in the European Union, with sheep populations declining by -4.5% . This situation has led to a reduction in supply, reflected in the high prices for small ruminant meat in a foreign market with high demand . The sheep and goat meat market is currently marked by a complicated geopolitical and climatic context in which trade with Middle Eastern countries has taken on special importance.
