Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-rendered pig fat in Samoa showed considerable instability between 2018 and 2023, starting at 108 tons in 2018 before dropping to 85 tons in 2019. It recovered to 104 tons in 2020 but then declined to 88 tons in 2021 and 84 tons in 2022, stabilizing at 86 tons in 2023.

The slight market growth in 2023 was driven by higher pork imports, which reached 3.4 tons, as the government maintained a cautious approach to the market while working to enhance sector services. During this period, the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, with World Bank support, advanced plans for a permanent abattoir to meet international standards and expand export opportunities.

In 2024, imports jumped to 28.7 tons, a substantial increase that coincided with the $30 million renovation of Savalalo market and the introduction of price control orders affecting meat prices. Concurrently, government incentives for cattle farmers and seasonal work programs encouraged investment in local livestock production, aiming to reduce reliance on imports over time.
