Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for raw bovine and equine hides and skins in French Polynesia declined from 375 t to 313 t. The initial production level in 2018 was supported by government aid to the local beef sector, including payments to butcher-slaughterhouses, and a ban on live animal imports that encouraged domestic processing.

After a drop in 2019 and 2020, the market recovered to 356 t in 2021 before gradually decreasing to 336 t by 2023. By 2023, the introduction of digital publication for industrial property rights and the application of a new public procurement code altered the administrative landscape for the sector.

In 2024, continued regulatory focus on animal feed imports and investments in agricultural infrastructure, such as a warehouse construction in Tahaa, highlighted ongoing attention to local agricultural supply chains.
