Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the market volume for non-rendered pig fat in Lebanon contracted from 75.4 thousand kg to 67.9 thousand kg, a period during which import supplies fell to nearly zero. This downward trend halted in 2021, coinciding with the passage of the Public Procurement Law No. 244/2021, which reformed import and distribution procedures for food goods, including animal fats.

The law's full implementation in 2022 brought greater transparency to import operations and supplier registration. This regulatory shift facilitated a return of imports, contributing to a market recovery that year with volume rising to 72.3 thousand kg. The market then stabilized in 2023 at 72.2 thousand kg amidst a sharp increase in local pork prices, which raised input costs and influenced consumer demand.

Looking ahead, the regulatory framework continued evolving in 2024 with the Ministry of Agriculture publishing clear conditions for importing processed animal products and the enforcement of updated consumer protection rules for ingredient labeling, setting the stage for future market structure.
