Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2020, the pig offal market volume in Middle Africa contracted from 45,605 t to 35,053 t. The most pronounced decrease occurred in 2020, when the market shrank by 20% compared to the previous year.

Market volume partially recovered to 41,613 t in 2021 but fell again to 37,278 t in 2022. This decline coincided with the implementation of the UEMOA Common External Tariff (TEC), which applied specific customs duties to fresh, chilled, or frozen pig offal imports. The tariff structure, with variable rates for different subcategories, increased import costs and contributed to reduced import volumes, tightening the overall market supply.

In 2023, the market rebounded to 41,526 t, approaching the level seen in 2021 as imports recovered. The UEMOA tariff regime remained in place, indicating ongoing regulatory influence on market access and regional pricing conditions.
