Earlier Report Observations

The market for pig fat in Honduras showed considerable volatility from 2018 to 2023. After initial stability near 1 140 t, volume dropped to 1 018 t in 2020, rebounded to 1 144 t in 2021, then fell again to 1 020 t in 2022 before surging to a peak of 1 220 t in 2023. This final increase was supported by imports rising to 657 t, offsetting a continued decline in domestic production.

In 2021, a genetics center opened in Comayagua to enhance reproductive performance and supply high-quality breeding stock to local pig farmers. This infrastructure investment aimed at strengthening the long-term production base for pork and its derivatives, although domestic output of pig fat continued to decrease that year, falling to 633 t.

The market contraction in 2022 coincided with reported growth in sales of fresh, chilled, and frozen beef across Central America. This increased regional competition from alternative meats likely exerted pressure on demand for pork fat, contributing to the market volume shrinking to 1 020 t.
