Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the pig offal market volume in Argentina fluctuated, starting at 31 885 t. Regulatory updates in 2018, such as allowing pork powder in meat products, supported production efficiency. However, by 2020, domestic volume fell to 30 169 t.

A sharp increase to 34 727 t occurred in 2021, the same year the Front-of-Pack Labeling Law was passed, aimed at informing consumers about excess critical nutrients. Subsequently, market volume dropped to 29 082 t in 2022, partly due to non‑tariff import restrictions that reduced incoming shipments, coupled with record pig slaughter that boosted exports. In 2023, despite a government support program for the pork sector, domestic volume stabilized around 28 601 t as production continued to favor export channels.
