Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for beef, sheep, and goat fats in Sudan showed modest stability, reaching a peak of 19 154 t in 2020. However, a downward trend followed, with the market size declining to 18 307 t by 2022.

In 2023, the market stabilized at 18 358 t, coinciding with the severe deterioration of the livestock sector due to armed conflicts. These conflicts caused significant livestock losses, herd theft, and pasture contamination, directly reducing the raw material available for fat production.

In response, the Central Bank of Sudan introduced new export regulations in March 2024, requiring advance payment or documentary letters of credit for all live animal exports to improve control and combat illegal trade. Additionally, increased Saudi investments in the livestock sector aimed to bolster production and exports.
