Earlier Report Observations

The Malaysian market for pig fat free of lean meat and poultry fat expanded from 24 239 tons in 2018 to a peak of 27 483 tons in 2020. This growth was followed by a sharp contraction, with the market volume falling to 22 819 tons in 2021 and continuing to decline to 17 534 tons by 2023.

The downturn from 2021 coincided with the Ministry of Health's updated Food Regulations 1985, which introduced specific labeling requirements for edible fats and oils, including meat products. These new rules likely increased compliance costs and affected consumer perception, reducing market volume. Further pressure came in 2023 when the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living enforced stricter separation of halal and non-halal products, leading to seizures of mixed inventory and restricting the availability of pig fat in retail channels.
