Earlier Report Observations
The market for pig fat in Burkina Faso expanded slightly from 32 415 t in 2018 to 33 036 t in 2019, a year marked by falling export prices that reached 0.90 USD/kg and created pressure on producer margins. A severe downturn followed, with volume plunging to 21 654 t in 2020 and 18 127 t in 2021.
A gradual recovery began in 2022, with the market reaching 18 565 t, and continued to 19 015 t in 2023. This rebound occurred amidst persistent insecurity in northern, Sahel, Centre-North, and eastern regions, which disrupted secondary markets and distribution channels. Concurrently, export prices were low at 0.65 USD/kg in 2022 but were projected to rise to 0.70 USD/kg in 2023, influencing production incentives.
For 2024, available indicators point to continued insecurity in the north affecting market access and forecasts of rising export prices, while no major regulatory shifts or new market entrants were reported.
