Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-rendered pig fat in Portugal expanded from 10.5 thousand tonnes in 2018 to 12.6 thousand tonnes in 2019, driven by the swine sector's push for self-sufficiency by 2030 and rising live pig prices. The COVID-19 pandemic then reduced volume to 11.8 thousand tonnes in 2020 through logistics bottlenecks and higher compliance costs. After a recovery to 13.2 thousand tonnes in 2021, volume dipped to 12.6 thousand tonnes in 2022 due to persistent supply chain disruptions and EU organic feed regulations impacted by the war in Ukraine.

From 2023, the market contracted sharply, falling to 9.2 thousand tonnes and then to 5.7 thousand tonnes in 2024, reflecting a significant downturn in consumption.
