In 2023, Germany led European exports of rendered lard and other pig fat at 138.58 million kilograms despite a slight 1.88% decrease from last year. France followed with 88.128 million kilograms, marking a 1.49% increase. Belgium registered a dramatic 100% decline. Significant growths were seen in Portugal (28.6%) and Poland (5.19%), while Lithuania and Greece experienced remarkable year-on-year increases of 30.14% and 59.03%, respectively. Finland had an impressive 134.47% growth, albeit from a smaller base. Over five years, Estonia exhibited strong growth, alongside smaller but consistent increases in Poland, Slovenia, Ireland, and Greece.
Future trends to watch include potential recovery in Belgium's exports, continued expansion in smaller markets like Slovenia and Romania, and emerging prospects for significant growth in Finland and Lithuania. Additionally, monitoring geopolitical and environmental factors influencing raw material supply will be critical for understanding export dynamics.
