Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2022, the market volume for beef, sheep and goat fats in Moldova contracted by nearly 20%, falling from 1 568 t to 1 285 t. This decline was primarily driven by a sustained reduction in cattle and pig herds, which lowered the raw material base for fat production.

The downward trend reversed in 2023 when market volume grew to 1 398 t. Throughout the period, government support measures such as the National Temporary Aid in Livestock (ANTZ) and Coupled Support (SCZ) were active for cattle, sheep and goat breeders. By 2023, over 82% of cattle and 94% of sheep were raised in holdings without legal personality, reflecting a highly fragmented production structure.
