The market for non-rendered pig fat free of lean meat in Laos showed consistent growth from 2018 to 2023, with volume rising from 8 260 t to 9 921 t. Initial expansion in 2018 was supported by a sufficient pig population of over 3.1 million heads, which ensured raw material availability despite localized African swine fever outbreaks, allowing production to reach 8 260 t.
Production continued to increase steadily each year, peaking at 9 987 t in 2023, while market volume followed a similar upward trend. Exports emerged during the period, starting from zero in 2018 and reaching 66 t in 2023, indicating growing external interest without significantly affecting domestic supply.
