Earlier Report Observations

The pork market in Kiribati recorded gradual expansion from 2018 to 2023, with total volume climbing from 1 028 t to 1 095 t. This growth was underpinned by a consistent rise in domestic production, which increased every year and reached 1 074 t by 2023. Imports, while much smaller in scale, showed considerable volatility, peaking at 49 t in 2019 before dropping sharply the following year.

After a temporary setback in 2020 that reduced market size to 1 043 t, the market resumed its upward path, adding volume each year through 2023. The supply structure remained heavily reliant on local output, which consistently covered over 98% of total consumption. Import fluctuations reflected external supply conditions but did not alter the overall trend of modest market growth.
