Oaxaca's goat meat sales exceeded 1,800 tons in the first 7 months of 2021, as reported by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, despite the suspension of festivities due to the pandemic. The sales have increased to over 320 tons per month due to high demand from mayordomías, patron saint festivals, and individuals. The production of goat meat in Oaxaca last year exceeded 3,600 tons. The local Congress authorized the designation of origin of the authentic Mole de Caderas, a shepherd's dish made with goat hips, including it in the Festival of the Moles of Oaxaca.
