Earlier Report Observations

The market for raw bovine and equine hides and skins in Vanuatu grew from 267 t to 297 t between 2018 and 2019. This increase was primarily supported by a national cattle repopulation program launched to strengthen food security, which aimed to expand the herd to over 500,000 head by 2025. The sector also benefited from productive pastures and a favorable animal health environment. In 2020, the market volume fell to 276 t due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which disrupted supply chains and restricted agricultural activities.

Following the pandemic, the market recovered sharply to 327 t in 2021 as export operations gradually resumed and government support programs for livestock farming continued. The market volume then decreased to 288 t in 2022 and subsequently saw a modest increase to 302 t in 2023.
