Earlier Report Observations

The market for lard and poultry fats in El Salvador held steady at around 1 650 t from 2018 to 2019 before contracting to 1 578 t in 2020. A significant rebound followed in 2021, with volume rising 17% to 1 850 t. This growth was driven by the inauguration of a modern pork processing plant in San Juan Opico, which expanded domestic slaughter capacity and aimed to boost exports, increasing the supply of pork-derived fats.

Market volume softened slightly to 1 803 t in 2022. This was influenced by the closure of slaughterhouses that failed to meet updated sanitary regulations, limiting local production. Concurrently, a legislative exemption from import tariffs on meat products supported higher imports, which reached 148 t. In 2023, the market fell sharply to 1 078 t, a period during which major industry players continued investments in facility upgrades and sustainability initiatives.
