Earlier Report Observations

Guinea-Bissau's pork market volume showed considerable movement between 2018 and 2023. The market contracted sharply in 2019 to 10,903 t from 12,582 t the year before. This was followed by a strong recovery, with volumes rising to 13,074 t in 2020 and reaching a peak of 14,501 t in 2021. The market then entered a phase of mild correction, edging down to 14,185 t in 2022 and 13,986 t in 2023.

The overall market trajectory closely mirrored domestic production trends, as imports of pork remained minimal throughout the period. The initial downturn, subsequent two-year expansion, and later stabilization were primarily reflected in changes to local output.
