Pig offal market in CIS

Earlier Report Observations

The pig offal market in the CIS showed consistent expansion from 2018 to 2023, with production volume increasing from 257 thousand tonnes to 353 thousand tonnes. This growth was initially fueled by a 6.8% rise in pig slaughter output in 2018, which elevated the supply of offal, and the subsequent development of the pork and meat offal segment sustained the upward trend.

Regulatory changes, including the introduction of new labeling and traceability requirements for meat offal in 2021, helped shape production standards. Concurrently, a shift in consumer preference towards frozen offal supported market growth, while global factors in 2020 influenced trade patterns, contributing to a decline in imports and volatile exports.

A major export drive to China transformed the market landscape from 2023 onward, with Russia entering the top-five suppliers of pig offal to China. This export orientation, coupled with increased activity from major meat processing companies and evolving consumer demand for semi-finished meat products, underpinned further production and market expansion through 2024.
