Earlier Report Observations

Pig offal production in Nigeria increased from 13 586 t in 2018 to 16 612 t in 2023, reflecting steady annual growth. This expansion was supported by rising demand for pork in urban areas due to urbanization and higher disposable incomes, alongside industry efforts to maximize carcass utilization and reduce food waste. The market saw manufacturers broadening product categories and forming partnerships with online merchants, enhancing visibility and sales, while hypermarkets and supermarkets captured the largest revenue share, indicating a shift toward modern retail channels.

Growth momentum faced headwinds from escalating feed costs driven by expensive agricultural supplies and infrastructure constraints, including irregular power supply affecting cold storage for preservation. Cultural and religious factors continued to limit broader pork consumption, though niche segments and urban consumers showed increased demand. The localization of pig farming through partnerships and investment aimed to bolster domestic supply, yet challenges such as disease control and information gaps persisted for small-scale farmers.

In 2024, the sector witnessed policy and investment shifts, including a government memorandum with JBS to build six commercial-scale processing plants—one dedicated to pork—with a $2.5 billion investment, signaling substantial industry modernization. The establishment of the Federal Ministry of Livestock Development and a temporary waiver on import taxes for agricultural inputs sought to support production, while high feed prices and logistical hurdles remained pressing issues for local farmers.
