Between 2018 and 2023, the pork market in Vanuatu contracted steadily, with total volume falling from 3 362 t to 2 978 t. Domestic production, which accounts for the majority of supply, decreased from 3 164 t to 2 897 t over this period.

Imports of pork dropped significantly after 2018, from 198 t to a low of 34 t in 2021, before a modest recovery to 81 t in 2023. This decline in foreign supply further contributed to the overall reduction in market volume.
