Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the market for pig fat in Sierra Leone expanded from 71 610 kg to 78 370 kg. This growth was supported by an active livestock sector where domestic production was insufficient to meet local protein demand, encouraging increased local output. In 2020, persistent food insecurity and a high reliance on imported food further incentivized the rise in domestic production.

The market continued to grow through 2021–2023, reaching 94 900 kg by 2023. Insufficient local animal protein production created investment opportunities in feed manufacturing and pig farming development. In 2023, the launch of the government’s Feed Salone program, which aimed to transform the food system with an increased agriculture budget, provided additional momentum for production and consumption of meat products including pig fat.
