Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the market for non-rendered pig fat in Sao Tome and Principe saw fluctuating production volumes, starting at 40 metric tons in 2018. The inauguration of the Nova Olinda Pig Farming Center, funded by Taiwan, aimed to supply the national market with 10 tons of pork per day, boosting local pig production and subsequently increasing the availability of pig fat. Despite a slight dip in 2019, production rose to 47 metric tons in 2020 as ongoing governmental and private efforts to expand domestic pig farming and improve the production chain took effect.

In 2021, production declined to 45 metric tons due to the adoption of nutritional management practices and genetic improvements aimed at producing pigs with lower fat content, responding to growing consumer demand for leaner pork. The following year, production surged by 28% to 58 metric tons, supported by the continued implementation of legislation ensuring hygiene, food safety, and quality in pork production and sales, which helped standardize and potentially expand output.

By 2023, production reached 61 metric tons and the market volume hit 62 metric tons, with minimal imports. The overall growth from 40 to 62 metric tons over the six-year period reflects the country's push to enhance domestic pork production and adapt to evolving market standards.
