Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for raw bovine and equine hides and skins in Belarus increased from 34 927 t in 2018 to 36 199 t in 2019, primarily due to a temporary ban on exports outside the Eurasian Economic Union introduced in May 2018, which sharply reduced overseas shipments. This trend reversed in 2020 when a rise in exports contributed to a market contraction to 34 783 t, despite higher production.

State procurement orders for raw hides established for republican needs from 2021 provided steady demand, supporting production. In 2023, the introduction of half-year export licensing and a new temporary export ban, alongside the ongoing state order, stimulated a significant market expansion to 38 993 t, as production surged and exports were restrained.

The underlying raw material base remained stable, with a cattle population of around 4.1-4.2 million head and continued state support for livestock farming, reinforcing the market's foundation.
