Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-rendered pig fat in Cameroon opened the period at 4 279 t in 2018 but dropped sharply by 19% to 3 464 t in 2019 after African swine fever severely reduced pig herds and pork production. A further slight decrease of 2% to 3 380 t occurred in 2020 as COVID-19 pandemic restrictions disrupted distribution channels and weakened demand.

Recovery commenced in 2021 with volume rising 11% to 3 757 t, driven by government projects to modernize the pork sector, including the construction of a modern slaughterhouse in Yaoundé. The market then stabilized with a marginal 1% dip to 3 704 t in 2022 and grew by 7% to 3 975 t in 2023, supported by the creation of the professional organization INTERPORCAM and the implementation of stricter food safety norms that improved market conditions.
