Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for non-rendered pig fat in Honduras declined from 1 122 t to 999 t. Hog producers' shift toward leaner meat genetics and government programs providing high-quality breeding pigs influenced pork production, while investments in pig farming and low domestic pork prices supported consumption. The market contraction in 2020 occurred alongside a drop in domestic output.

The market recovered from 2021, reaching 1 120 t in 2021 and peaking at 1 201 t in 2023. This rebound was driven by surging imports, as hurricanes Eta and Iota in 2020 destroyed local farms, forcing greater reliance on imported pork and fat. In 2023, the implementation of the National Traceability System (SINART) aimed to strengthen production controls and open export markets, though imports hit a record 638 t that year. By 2024, increased exports of animal fat from the United States pointed to continued import dependence.
