Earlier Report Observations

The market for pig fat in New Caledonia experienced a significant contraction from 176 577 kg in 2018 to 126 595 kg in 2021, primarily due to a steep decline in imports, which fell by nearly 60% over that period. Domestic production remained relatively stable, fluctuating between 89 000 kg and 96 000 kg. A recovery began in 2022, with market volume reaching 171 609 kg in 2023, driven by a strong rebound in imports to 82 779 kg.

Several structural factors defined the market landscape by 2024. Health authorities actively discourage the use of animal fats like pork fat for cooking due to cardiovascular risks, influencing consumer demand. The market supply is shaped by regulations allowing only frozen pork meat to be imported, which is primarily destined for the processing industry to obtain specific cuts. Furthermore, the government increased the price of pork meat from October 2023 to support local producers, which can affect the overall cost structure for pig fat products. Strict hygiene rules for open-air markets also mandate specific cold storage conditions for meat distribution.
