Earlier Report Observations
From 2018, the market for beef, sheep, and goat fats in Congo was influenced by substantial public investment and institutional development. The signing of a $100 million financing agreement for the Commercial Agriculture Development Support Project (PDAC) aimed at strengthening livestock capacities, coupled with the creation of the state-owned company SOCIETE AGRIGASS to address the lack of reliable operators, provided a foundation for the sector. This period coincided with a rising contribution of agriculture to GDP, reaching 7.8% in 2019 and 9.0% in 2020, reflecting broader sectoral growth that supported stable production volumes.
The market saw a peak volume of 161.7 tons in 2021, coinciding with the progressive implementation of Protected Agricultural Zones (ZAP) to foster mechanization and production. The subsequent launch of the 2022-2026 Priority Action Programme, focusing on developing cattle and small ruminant value chains and controlling animal diseases, underscored continued efforts to structure the livestock industry. By 2023, heightened enforcement against wildlife trafficking introduced a regulatory element for animal products. Throughout the full period, market volume remained stable with minor fluctuations, ending at 157.8 tons in 2023.
