Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for non-rendered pig fat in Tunisia grew from 6.2 million kg in 2018 to 7.7 million kg in 2020, driven primarily by a sharp reduction in exports. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted global supply chains, leading to a near-halt in exports and increasing the volume available domestically.

After peaking in 2020, the market gradually contracted to 7.5 million kg by 2023, aligning with a steady decline in production. In 2022, a significant announced increase in red meat prices—up to 40 dinars per kilogram—likely affected overall demand for meat products and, consequently, the production of by-products like pig fat.

Throughout the period, the Tunisian meat sector was characterized by strong public and private companies such as FARAH and ELLOUHOUM, which regulated distribution and adhered to sanitary standards. Additionally, the rising share of poultry in meat consumption represented a shift toward less fatty products, providing broader context for the pig fat market.
