Earlier Report Observations

The Liberian pork market began the period with stable domestic production, as meat yield and slaughter numbers remained flat in 2018, helping maintain output near 9 650 tons. This contributed to an initial market volume of 14 249 tons. However, a contraction to 13 360 tons followed in 2019, driven primarily by a drop in import volumes.

A sharp rebound occurred in 2020, with imports more than doubling to push the total market volume to 16 849 tons. Growth continued into 2021, reaching a peak of 18 914 tons as imports climbed further. Subsequent declines in import volumes led to a reduced market size of 17 666 tons in 2022 and a steeper contraction to 11 991 tons in 2023.

Preliminary data for 2024 indicates a significant rise in pork imports to approximately 10 625 tons. Liberia is noted for its high per capita consumption of frozen pork cuts, underscoring sustained demand within the market.
