Earlier Report Observations
The market for non-rendered pig fat in Sri Lanka experienced notable fluctuations from 2018 to 2023. Volume began at 34 thousand kg in 2018, edged down to 32 thousand kg the following year, and then grew to 38 thousand kg in 2020. A major expansion occurred in 2021, with the market rising by over 50% to reach 58 thousand kg.
This upward trend reversed sharply in 2022, as volume fell back to 32 thousand kg. The decline deepened in 2023, dropping to 22 thousand kg. During this period, a 39% increase in pork prices—stemming from higher living costs and reduced consumer income—curbed demand for meat products, including pig fat. At the same time, the sector's dependence on imported feed ingredients maintained elevated production costs, placing further pressure on market output.
