Yeah, that was my interpretation too.
I just checked the New 'n' Tasty opening again, and while Molluck's obtuse form is obscuring some of the text, it clearly states that sales have dropped due to "privatisation and game [hunting]". So Sekto had established himself there sometime in the past year before Abe's Oddysee.
If we go by Stranger's Wrath HD, however, Mudokon Pops have already gone into production, though this could be easily be handwaved: Perhaps the Mongo Valley was subject to a RuptureFarms product trial period.

Taking MO into account, we know that RuptureFarms 1029 wasn't the only meat factory, just the biggest. It's pretty feasible that other factories took over the idea and ran with it anyway. Abe also alludes to it when he says "You know what's in a Mudokon pop?" IS, not 'was supposed to be'. What IS in a Mudokon Pop.
