Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the pork market volume in Madagascar expanded from 26 187 t to 27 731 t. This growth was largely driven by consumer shifts away from beef, as a sharp price surge for beef in 2018 and a market shortage in 2019 made pork a more accessible and affordable alternative.

The market experienced a correction in 2021, with volume dipping to 26 415 t, before stabilizing at 26 525 t in 2022. Industry focus during this period included preparations to resume meat exports, marked by the establishment of an international-standard slaughterhouse, which elevated sanitary requirements across the meat sector.

A significant expansion occurred in 2023, with market volume jumping 18.6% to reach 31 470 t. This increase coincided with the broader development of professional pig farming using improved breeds, which enhanced production capacity and product quality.
