Earlier Report Observations

The market for non-rendered pig fat free of lean meat in Zimbabwe expanded from 530 tons in 2018 to 927 tons in 2023. This growth was interrupted only in 2020, when volume dipped to 570 tons, coinciding with the global COVID-19 pandemic that disrupted meat supply chains worldwide.

Following the pandemic, the market recovered strongly, aided by a sustained increase in livestock and poultry imports that boosted raw material availability. At the same time, the processed meat sector saw reduced market concentration, with the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index falling from 6445 to 4894 between 2017 and 2023, indicating greater competition that may have stimulated production and market volume.

By 2023, these factors helped drive market volume to a peak of 927 tons, representing a 30% increase over the previous year.
