Earlier Report Observations

The tallow market in Vanuatu exhibited significant volatility between 2018 and 2023. Market volume initially rose from 60 114 kg in 2018 to 63 101 kg in 2019, then contracted by 11.7% to 55 712 kg in 2020. A sharp rebound followed in 2021, with volume surging 22.6% to 68 302 kg, before declining again to 60 736 kg in 2022. The market partially recovered in 2023, reaching 65 054 kg.

These fluctuations were primarily driven by changes in domestic production, which accounted for the bulk of market volume. Import volumes, while generally modest, contributed to market growth in years such as 2019 and 2023, where they exceeded 1 000 kg. The absence of exports throughout the period meant that market size directly reflected domestic supply and import activity.
