Earlier Report Observations

The market for pig fat free of lean meat and poultry fat in Congo experienced notable shifts between 2018 and 2023. After growing to 106.3 tons in 2019, the total market volume entered a period of contraction, falling to 93.9 tons by 2022. This trend reversed sharply in 2023, with consumption climbing to 121.6 tons.

Domestic production of this product gradually declined from 106.2 tons in 2019 to 89.5 tons in 2023. The market's substantial growth in 2023 was entirely due to a surge in imports, which rose to 32.2 tons that year from a negligible level in the previous period.

With no exports recorded throughout these years, the market's supply depended on the balance between local output and import volumes, the latter of which became a decisive factor for total availability in 2023.
