Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the market volume for pig offal in Namibia grew from 891 t to 1 570 t, despite a temporary dip in 2021. This expansion was primarily fueled by rising imports, which accounted for over half of the market's supply in recent years.

In 2022, pork offal constituted 55% of Namibia's total pork imports, reflecting a structural reliance on imported offal to meet domestic demand. The following year, offal's share of pork imports rose to 66.5%, even as the local pig industry faced headwinds including higher input costs and a listeriosis outbreak in South Africa that dampened consumer confidence. The Meat Board of Namibia's pig marketing scheme helped stabilize producer prices amid these challenges.

By 2024, local pig marketing and slaughtering volumes showed modest growth, yet pork offal remained dominant in imports, representing 70% of total pork imports. This continued dependence on imported offal underscores the market's ongoing evolution toward greater import penetration.
