Earlier Report Observations

From 2018, the Gabonese government implemented key agricultural policies to boost domestic production and reduce food imports. The creation of the Gabonese Food Safety Agency (AGASA) aimed to improve sanitary standards and increase local output, while High Productivity Agricultural Zones (ZAP) were established with a focus on pork, poultry, and other livestock value chains. These measures supported stable domestic production of non-rendered pig fat at around 192-193 tons annually, with no imports recorded during 2018-2019.

The market dynamics shifted noticeably in 2020 when imports of non-rendered pig fat commenced, reaching 23.5 tons and contributing to a 12% expansion in total market volume to 217 tons. This import trend continued into 2021, with foreign supplies growing to 34.7 tons and total market size reaching 230 tons. During a ministerial visit to major poultry farms in 2021, authorities highlighted the competitive pressure from imports on local industries, alongside infrastructure and training gaps, even as the Depot for Agricultural Enterprise of Gabon (DEAG) inaugurated new production facilities to strengthen domestic capacity.

By 2022, food price inflation, including for poultry, began to affect consumption patterns, coinciding with a deceleration in market growth to 235 tons. The specialization of High Productivity Agricultural Zones continued with targeted animal production goals. In 2023, the market volume stabilized at 233 tons. Early 2024 saw a ministerial order suspending duties and taxes on certain goods to regulate food prices, alongside discussions on farmer challenges and a project to import 1,000 head of cattle from Brazil to bolster local livestock production.
