Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, Saint Lucia's pork market volume showed notable fluctuations, ranging from a low of 1 648 tons in 2021 to a peak of 1 976 tons in 2022. The overall trend was upward, with the market size increasing from 1 632 tons in 2018 to 1 887 tons in 2023, representing a growth of over 15%.

Domestic pork production expanded significantly during this period, more than doubling from 618 tons in 2018 to 1 170 tons in 2022 before easing to 1 016 tons in 2023. This substantial rise in local output altered the supply structure, with production accounting for a larger share of the total market.

Imports of pork varied inversely with production, declining from over 1 000 tons in 2018-2019 to a low of 676 tons in 2021, then recovering to 870 tons in 2023. The combined effect of rising production and volatile imports led to the observed changes in total market supply, with imports partially rebounding as production moderated.
