Earlier Report Observations
The market for raw sheep and lamb skins in Algeria showed consistent growth between 2018 and 2023, with production rising from 51 073 t to 56 027 t. Market volume, which closely tracks domestic production due to no imports and minimal exports, expanded from 51 073 t to 55 800 t over the same period.
This upward trend was supported by the cyclical demand linked to religious slaughter, particularly during Eid al-Adha. Preparations for the 2022 festival emphasized sheep quantities and pricing, which increased slaughter rates and thereby boosted the supply of raw skins available to the market.
By 2024, underlying supply-side challenges became evident, including a multi-year drought that reduced the national sheep flock and drove up livestock prices. In response, authorities organized large-scale sheep imports and launched price stabilization programs to secure animals for slaughter, underscoring the critical link between livestock availability and raw skin production.
