Earlier Report Observations

The market for raw bovine and equine hides and skins in Burkina Faso expanded significantly from 2018 to 2023, with production rising from 14 760 tonnes to 21 675 tonnes. A major surge occurred in 2019 when output reached 21 484 tonnes, driven by the ongoing structuring of the livestock sector, including the organization of numerous herder groups and professionalization programs that strengthened the supply chain for raw materials.

After a slight contraction to 20 233 tonnes in 2020 due to adverse climatic conditions affecting transhumant livestock movements, the market stabilized and resumed growth. This recovery and the subsequent steady increase to 21 675 tonnes by 2023 were supported by public policies focused on creating competitive, market-oriented value chains for livestock products, which enhanced the overall utilization of raw hides.
