Earlier Report Observations

Macao's market for non-rendered pig fat free of lean meat started in 2018 with domestic production of 412.9 t, supported by stabilized live pig supply following the African Swine Fever outbreak, which ensured consistent raw material availability. In 2019, production declined to 360.1 t as the market faced instability from both ASF and the emerging COVID-19 pandemic, driving up prices; the government responded by opening new supply routes, enabling the first imports of 36.8 t and keeping the total market volume at 396.9 t. By 2020, continued measures to diversify supply partnerships significantly boosted imports to 145.1 t, expanding the total market to 505.2 t despite flat domestic output.

Import volumes became the primary driver of market size in subsequent years. Imports rose to 184.0 t in 2021, lifting the market to 544.1 t, then fell to 130.6 t in 2022, reducing the total to 490.7 t. In 2023, imports recovered to 169.9 t, pushing the market to 530.0 t, a growth supported by the Macao Slaughterhouse's mandatory testing of imported pork for chemical residues like ractopamine to ensure food safety, alongside shifting consumer preferences toward fresh and secure products.
