Earlier Report Observations

Colombia's pig fat market expanded from 25 240 t in 2018 to 39 468 t in 2023. This growth was initiated by the swine industry's response to rising pork imports, which reached 20% of the market, prompting import substitution strategies and campaigns promoting domestically produced pork.

Trade restrictions and a stronger US dollar reduced import competitiveness from 2020, while supply shocks and higher feed costs incentivized domestic output. Favorable exchange rates and improved local feed availability further supported production in 2022. By 2023, per capita pork consumption rose to 13.5 kg, bolstered by government measures to increase slaughterhouse capacity and the strengthening of local brands, all contributing to higher pig fat volumes.
