Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the pig offal market in Congo expanded from 5 668 to 10 401 metric tons. This growth was supported by government projects to develop the swine sector, including investments in farm infrastructure and farmer training, alongside policies encouraging consumption of local products. These initiatives stimulated demand, leading to increased imports to meet market needs.

After a slight dip to 9 891 metric tons in 2021, the market recovered and reached 11 755 metric tons by 2023. The entry of new private players into pig farming, backed by tax incentives, and the implementation of the Multiannual Priority Action Program contributed to this rise. Simultaneously, fluctuations in international grain prices affected feed costs, adding volatility to production expenses.

In 2024, imports of pig offal fell to 7 116 metric tons, reflecting the impact of policies strengthening domestic production. The inauguration of protected agricultural zones dedicated to swine farming and increased public funding aim to reduce import reliance and develop a sustainable local industry.
