Earlier Report Observations

The market for pig fat in Gabon increased from 213 t in 2018 to 234 t in 2023, supported by sustained government efforts to strengthen local agricultural production. In 2018, the creation of high-productivity agricultural zones (ZAP) and the Agricultural Development Agency (ADAG) established a framework to boost livestock output, including pork value chains. This initiative was reinforced in 2020 under the Gabon Vert strategy, which aimed to intensify farm production and attract foreign investment.

Local production remained stable around 194–195 t during this period. The continued development of ZAPs, with specific targets set in 2021 for raising 18,000 pigs, directly supported output of pig fat. While import volumes fluctuated, peaking in 2022, policy attention turned to improving market infrastructure. In 2023, a memorandum with FAO sought to enhance post-harvest management and data collection, and a mission to attract investors like Turkey’s TOYA HOLDING signaled the potential entry of new players into the sector.

For 2024, a three-month suspension of duties and taxes on certain goods may affect distribution costs, and a project to import 1,000 head of cattle from Brazil underscores ongoing international cooperation to expand local livestock production.
