Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for pig fat in Mozambique stood at 8 104 t in 2018, supported by moderate growth in livestock production. However, it fell sharply to 5 841 t in 2019 before recovering to 7 937 t in 2020.

A sustained expansion followed from 2021, with the market reaching 9 786 t and then 12 486 t in 2022. This growth was facilitated by the launch of the 'Industrialize Mozambique' program, which aimed to reduce post-harvest losses and establish processing industries for meat products. Ongoing studies on inclusive and sustainable food systems also shaped sector policies during this period.

In 2023, the market volume dropped significantly to 6 442 t, nearly halving from the previous year's peak. Public investment in agriculture continued, but the traditional family-based structure of livestock ownership remained dominant.
