Earlier Report Observations

The market for beef, sheep, and goat fat in Libya showed moderate fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. Production reached 1,070 t in 2019, up from 1,049 t the previous year, but then declined to 1,041 t in 2020 and further to 1,013 t in 2021. This was followed by stabilization around 1,011–1,017 t in 2022–2023. During this period, a sheep breeding project highlighted the potential use of sheep fat in cooking and local food industries, though it did not prevent the temporary dip in output.

In 2023, production edged up to 1,017 t, supported by rising prices for poultry and eggs which increased consumer interest in animal fats as a more affordable alternative. The General Authority of Statistics in Libya published livestock statistics for 2023, reflecting official tracking of the sector and noting feedlot capacity of around 150,000 t annually.

By 2024, Libya's livestock population grew to 6 million sheep and 150,000 camels, bolstering the raw material base for animal fat production. Continued meat price increases and state monitoring through the Ministry of Agriculture and Animal Wealth indicated ongoing market dynamics favoring domestic utilization of animal by-products.
