Earlier Report Observations

Production of raw bovine and equine hides and skins in Central Asia grew from 210.6 thousand tons in 2018 to 233 thousand tons in 2023. This expansion was primarily driven by the high economic importance of livestock farming in the region and strengthened regional economic integration, which facilitated cross-border trade and attracted investment into agricultural sectors.

Exports saw a significant rise, increasing from 3.4 thousand tons in 2020 to 14.6 thousand tons in 2023. This surge was supported by the implementation of new investment projects, the creation of regional trade zones, and a broader policy shift towards export-oriented development, which enhanced the region's production and shipment capabilities.

The overall market volume fluctuated during the period, reaching 218.8 thousand tons in 2013, influenced by the interplay between rising production and strong export growth. In 2024, regulatory changes in Kyrgyzstan, including adjustments to export duties and customs fees, were enacted to further encourage the export of raw materials and live animals, aligning with the region's continued focus on external market access.
