Earlier Report Observations

The pork market volume in Cook Islands experienced a pronounced decline from approximately 690 t in 2018 to 542 t in 2023. This downward trend was not uniform, with a notable contraction in 2020 followed by a slight rebound in 2021.

The reduction in overall supply was underpinned by a steady decrease in domestic pork production, which fell by nearly 25% over the period. Simultaneously, import volumes showed significant volatility, dropping sharply in 2020 before partially recovering in subsequent years.

After the partial recovery of imports post-2020, the market size stabilized around 576-577 t in 2021-2022. However, a further decline in both production and imports in 2023 led to the lowest market volume recorded in the period.
