Goatmeat has been part of the diet of people in most parts of the world for thousands of years, in fact, recent research indicates that the goat was the first animal domesticated by humans. It is still the most widely eaten meat in the world.
 
Goatmeat is traditionally eaten by Middle Eastern, Caribbean, Cuban, Haitian, Hispanic, Indian, Asian and African consumers. This is due to its wide availability in these regions and because goatmeat is one of the only meats in the world that has minimal religious taboos. Anecdotal evidence suggests that goatmeat is also regarded as a healthy red meat alternative, especially due to its low fat content.
 
The demand for goatmeat is increasing as traditional goatmeat consumers migrate, non-traditional consumers become more adventurous in their eating habits, and are able to easily purchase goatmeat.
