Earlier Report Observations
The market volume for pig fat free of lean meat and poultry fat in Morocco showed significant volatility from 2018 to 2023, peaking at 96 939 kg in 2019 and falling to a low of 37 577 kg in 2022. These shifts were primarily driven by sharp fluctuations in imports, while domestic production remained stable at around 36 000 kg per year.
The import surge in 2019 coincided with severe drought that raised costs for local livestock farming, likely increasing reliance on imported fats. The subsequent sharp drop in imports during 2021 and 2022 occurred alongside growing consumer preference for locally sourced meat, which reduced demand for imported animal by-products.
Imports partially recovered in 2023 after sanitary authorities simplified import procedures for red meat, improving conditions for related product inflows. Simultaneously, government measures such as duty exemptions for live cattle and support for domestic producers continued to shape the market landscape.
