Earlier Report Observations

The market for pig offal in Benin contracted from 4,125 t in 2018 to 3,183 t in 2020, before entering a recovery phase that lifted volume to 4,229 t by 2023. Domestic production increased but remained below 1,000 t throughout the period, highlighting the market's structural dependence on imports to meet demand.

Market growth in 2021 was supported by strong exports of frozen edible offal from France to Benin, a key source of import supply. The further rise in 2023 coincided with the government's April announcement of a ban on imports of frozen chicken and table eggs from the end of 2024, a policy shift that prompted adjustments in the meat supply chain and influenced trade dynamics for alternative products including pig offal.

For 2024, the government confirmed the import ban on frozen chicken and table eggs would take effect at the year's end, marking a significant change in trade policy for Benin's meat sector.
