Earlier Report Observations

The pig fat market in Lebanon reached 75.4 thousand kg in 2018, a period that coincided with a global peak in demand for this product. Volume then fell to 69.1 thousand kg in 2019, largely due to a collapse in imports. The downward trend continued to 67.9 thousand kg in 2020, influenced by a severe economic crisis and rising meat prices, which led consumers to seek alternatives like wild boar hunting, reducing demand for commercially produced pork and its by-products.

After stabilizing around 67.6 thousand kg in 2021, the market rebounded to 72.3 thousand kg in 2022, driven by increased domestic production and a return of imports. This growth occurred in a context where cheap pork was widely used to adulterate other meats, a practice enabled by the lack of clear labeling requirements and ineffective market oversight. The market then saw a minor correction to 72.2 thousand kg in 2023.
