Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, Ethiopia's market for non-rendered pig fat free of lean meat expanded from 159.7 t to 180.9 t. This growth occurred alongside a steady rise in the export price of pig fat, which increased from $0.45 to $0.70 per kilogram over the period. The higher prices provided an incentive for producers to increase output, even though the market remained entirely domestic with no recorded imports or exports. Persistent structural challenges, including limited market-oriented infrastructure and low animal productivity, were noted but did not prevent gradual volume gains.

The market experienced a brief stabilization in 2021 when production dipped slightly to 172.6 t, a change of less than 0.5%. During this year, no significant entries of new players or openings of large production facilities were reported, and regulatory conditions for the sector remained unchanged. The continued increase in export prices likely helped maintain producer interest, and growth resumed in the following years, reaching 176.6 t in 2022 and 180.9 t in 2023.

Throughout the period, the market was shaped by local cultural and economic factors influencing consumption. No major legislative changes, labeling requirements, or policy shifts specific to pig fat were introduced. The absence of new state-owned companies or large private entrants, coupled with stable average yield per head, contributed to a consistent but moderated expansion of production volumes.
